About the author

Cited in Who's Who in Emerging Leaders, and Who's Who in Industry and Commerce.

Denis Orme -- During the past twenty years, currently as President of the Leadership Success Institute, Inc., he has been heavily recruited by startup businesses through to Fortune 500 companies to analyze operations, develop and implement change management strategies, and return organizations to sustainable profitable long-term growth.

From multi-nationals to government departments, major law firms and $20m manufacturers - over 200 organizations internationally, at times with an implementation role as the interim CEO or COO .......... the foundation for this book.

This consultation has been as a court-appointed receiver or liquidator; taking companies through a turnaround; advising on business startups; and providing "hands-on" support from an Operational, Strategic or Marketing perspective. This work gave rise to The Greenfields Approach.

His criticism of some consultants is that they just write reports or make recommendations and engage too little in sustained follow-up to ever find out how valid their advice was. His philosophy has always been to provide that "hands-on" support and to make sure things work as recommended.

While you are implementing plans, the economy changes, the market moves, technological changes will keep your head spinning, and most of all, your people need strong centrally directed leadership (not autocratic management) to keep the focus and achieve the result, with effective leadership being the key to success in every situation.

Denis is recognized for his keen insight and intuitive ability to discern and leverage core organizational strengths, eliminating functions that impede revenue growth, and in building rapport and creating motivated, high-performance teams.

He has received leadership awards from the American Lung Association, Business Volunteers for the Arts and the Greater Houston Partnership
