In summary, physics plays a crucial role in effective leadership by providing a framework for understanding complex systems and making informed decisions. It helps leaders to analyze and solve problems, anticipate outcomes, and effectively communicate with their team. By utilizing principles such as energy conservation, Newton's laws, and chaos theory, leaders can create efficient and sustainable strategies that drive success. Furthermore, physics encourages critical thinking and a data-driven approach, enabling leaders to make objective and evidence-based decisions. Overall, a solid understanding of physics can greatly enhance a leader's ability to lead and inspire their team towards achieving their goals.

Hello everyone. Quickly introducing myself.

I'm a physics BS who got lured into the high tech industry at WordPerfect Corp, loved programming, worked on Space Shuttle and GPS, then went into business, finally renounced programming and became a full-time management consultant.

Now I solve the most intractable problems in the universe: human beings; how to motivate them intrinsically; how to stabilize and scale companies BY empowering their people instead of firing them; how to eliminate bad management methods, dysfunctional cultures, and ineffective leadership systems; how to boost productivity without extra work.

Those may be most difficult problems in the universe—and the ones most worth solving. I especially love working with organizations that employ technical people.

But I never lost my intense love of physics.

I thought the objective these days was to crush people under the wheels of the corporate juggernaut. And to empower them to do what they're told.
