THEODORE TAPTIKLIS is a former McKinsey consultant and veteran organizational practitioner who has operated in many roles including board member, senior executive, strategist and change manager, professional development and business development manager and also in a variety of line management positions, working both as employee and as professional adviser. These roles extend to twenty-five organizations from manufacturing to financial services to transportation, utility management, healthcare and social services over a forty-year career.

For the past ten years Taptiklis has operated in a private capacity, exploring and testing the ideas discussed in this book by working with members of professional communities. The discoveries described here have led to working associations with a cadre of organizational practitioners, researchers and academics in New Zealand, the US and the UK.
