Who are you?
I am an independent management consultant based in Dallas who specializes in high-impact executive development and knowledge management. I also review mostly business books for Amazon's US, UK, and Canadian websites as well as several others, including my own. In addition, I have interviewed more than 130 thought leaders such as Teresa Amabile, Warren Bennis, Marcus Buckingham, Clay Christensen, Jim Collins, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Dave Ulrich, and Chris Zook.
What is your interest or involvement in employee engagement?
I help my clients with accelerated executive development (as previously indicated) as well as with performance measurement and enterprise learning at all levels and in all areas.

Where are you located?

Of possible interest....

I have just created a file of the latest in a series of clusters of what I call Business Nuggets. They are abbreviated versions of reviews now featured by the US, UK, and Canadian Web sites of both Amazon and Borders. Various other Web sites prefer them because each can be read in about one minute. The Web site of Business and Professional Women/USA features them in a cleverly named 60-Second Bookshelf. Several in the latest cluster are directly relevant to one or more dimensions of employee engagement. If you would like to receive the file, please contact me directly at:

interllect@mindspring.com.

Also, here is a link to the dedicated area that Amazon has created for me:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A26JGAM6GZMM4V/ref=cm_cr_auth/102-0547273-8345729?ie=UTF8

I am eager to receive and will gratefully welcome your comments, suggestions, and other forms of feedback.

Happy reading!

Thanks Bob - nice to be connected. I agree that we have a lot in common, and I'll look forward to comparing notes about how the topic of Employee Engagement here in Australia compares to how it is viewed in the US. Regards, Geoff.

Hello Robert

Just wanted to say that I enjoy your recommended book postings and to say that we both enjoy David Brooks.  I read his op-ed piece and then read the New Yorker essay on Winston Churchill.  Always so much to learn but it's better to learn from trusted sources.

Best for 2011!

Barbara
