Author's Note:

Thank you for finding this website. All the site's files were developed over more than 45 full-time years. If you were to check out all of them, you would understand why it took so long. These materials have been used to (a) educate college and high school students, and (b) train managers, leaders, supervisors, and management trainers from some of the largest business, government, and military organizations in the world.

Even though these files are free for you to download and use, we simply ask that you do not abuse the copyrights and registered trademarks by attempting to modify, distribute, and/or sell them. Although we do not request donations to help maintain this website, we would very much appreciate that, if you find these files well worth using, you will please mention them to your family members, friends, classmates, and/or others in your organization.

At age 83 I'm retiring. However, if anyone might consider procuring the rights to these materials,
and they have the resources to take them where they have the potential to go,

My hope is that this lifetime of work will continue to help people
