Publications

Industry Relevant Publications

Publications below include books, proceedings, chapters of multiple author books, monographs, white papers, and internal publications of institutes and large companies. For example, Raytheon contracted with me to write a book that is listed here for internal training that cannot be published externally due to defense security protocols. So the list of 65+ publications from 5 phases of my life is not conventional based on academia approaches, but it is a more complete list than if some were left off. Not listed are many publications that don't really fit in such a list, such as 25 World-Class Management Step Charts.
