John Gaston

John Gaston (1943) brings forty-plus years of “lessons learned’ from leading and managing a number of nationally recognized organizations within government and industry. His primary goal in writing this book was to help individuals who had little or no management and leadership experience or training. He wanted to provide decades of experience with strategies developed and nurtured from doing things that worked and things that failed. His objective was to keep each strategy short, concise, and organized for fast review and quick follow-up reference while reducing repetition. Kirkus Reviews: "Gaston does an expert job of offering his strategies in a highly readable format for quick reference. In addition, the author delivers a substantial amount of solid advice that readers new to the topic are likely to find useful."

John has lectured at national and international conferences regarding security management and the need to protect trade secrets and proprietary information that is the lifeblood of many businesses. He has received numerous government and industrial awards for leadership and management excellence.
