About Thomas

The Becoming a Best Boss System℠ started when Thomas discovered he was a jerk boss. And he never intended to be -- he thought he was good.

Once he faced reality, his choices were, [a] get himself out of management forever; [b] resign himself to being a jerk boss; or [c] learn to be a great boss.

Thomas spent the next nine years obsessed with finding the best guidance possible on how to lead others. He waded through the 95% of leadership guidance that's wrong, toxic, mistaken, overly narrow, decontextualized, or "True But Useless." He only kept what worked for him and his clients.

In 2014 Thomas created a system that integrates the most useful and actionable guidance from dozens of the world's greatest Lean, leadership, and management thinkers and writers, from Shingo to Deming to Drucker to Mark Horstman to Edgar Schein to Amy Edmondson, and many more.
 
Thomas continues to add only the most tested ideas and elements to his Best Boss System.

About Thomas

Thomas was a high functioning technologist for Oracle and IBM who knew he lacked people skills. Once he plateaued technically, he devoted himself to the study of leadership.

More than twenty years later, he's a recognized master of the art of leading teams. He teaches CEOs (and those who want to become CEOs) everything he knows via 1:1 coaching and small group, experiential learning.
