Chris W. Chen

I live in the beautiful seaside community of Carlsbad, CA with my wife and two daughters. I currently commercialize intellectual capital developed by San Diego Gas & Electric, a significant departure from my prior role managing the IT organizational change and process improvement function. I also run my own consulting business, specializing in leadership training. I've led the training and development function for several San Diego companies, been a program manager for the Center for Creative Leadership, and also have experience in finance, human resources, and information technology.

My BA degree is from the University of California, Irvine, with a major in Economics. My MBA is also from UCI, with an emphasis in Organizational Behavior. I was an adjunct professor of organizational behavior at California State University, Long Beach, and lectured on TQM at the John Anderson Graduate School of Management (UCLA). In addition to my books, I've also published articles on a variety of human resource topics, contributed to the Pfieffer Annual, and been quoted as a management expert by the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune.
