About the author:
Adrian Savage is a writer, an Englishman, and a retired corporate executive—more or less in that order. He took a Master’s degree at Cambridge, worked in a range of organizations ranging from central and local government to giant multi-nationals, taught in a British business school, founded two successful consulting companies, and ended his career as CEO of a corporation based in California. He now lives in Tucson, Arizona, where he enjoys the desert and its amazing wildlife—not to mention a very different climate from the land where he was born. His second book, Slow Leadership: Civilizing the Organization, is to be published in October 2006.
