Acknowledgments
I have had the opportunity over three decades to work with a variety of professionals in both a corporate and nonprofit environment. Sometimes my role was leader and at times it was follower. People come into your life and provide inspiration. I choose to find the good in everyone. We are all the sum total of what we experience in life. I always tried to take a few golden nuggets from all those individuals I worked with over many years.
Finally, I want to acknowledge all the coaches who try to help individuals reach their true potential every day.
For those of you whom I have crossed paths with, I hope we touched each other in a special and positive way.
My mentors over the years are too numerous to mention. However, I would be remiss if I didn't name a few: David Komansky, former CEO of Merrill Lynch; Edward Goldberg, former EVP, Merrill Lynch; Jim Shoaf, former head of National Sales, Merrill Lynch; Ernie Moeglin, former district director, Merrill Lynch; Winthrop H. Smith, former EVP and head of Merrill Lynch International; Alan Sislen, Merrill Lynch; and Jim McCarthy and Andrew P. Edlemann, who gave me my first job at Merrill Lynch in San Francisco.
Some special thanks to Ed Goldberg for writing the Foreword. Thanks for being my friend.
Ronald Brown, PhD, gave me great insight to write a chapter about diversity and inclusion for teams.
Andre Campbell, MD, provided great content on shock trauma surgery teams.
Bruce Dillard, thanks for your service and guidance ...
