His interpretation of the art and science of leadership gives the aspiring leader and mentor an actionable toolbox for developing effective leadership skills. His seminars convert leadership theory into useful steps every leader can take. His experience comes from community leaders, frontline supervisors, and the corner office, as well as from having started and led two companies himself. His Ph.D. is in psychology and his fourth business book is the newly released Leadership Rites of Passage. You can contact Rick through the website navigator group inc.com.”
