I want to thank several people for their generous time and thoughts in completing this book. First, my partner in life and business for her contributions, support, and ideas on assuring that this book was relevant to executives and managers. Special thanks for the contributions of our fellow author, Johnilee Whiteside, and our copy editor, Roby Blecker.
Finally thanks to several executives and managers representative of those for whom we wrote the book, including Jay Chance, Senior Manager and 25 year veteran in the aerospace industry, Scott Thomson, Andy Tiao, Consolidated Edison, and Steve Rovin, Northeast Utilities. Their ideas and suggestions were very instrumental in keeping the book centered on your needs and circumstances.
