My Mission
Not everyone can or chooses to access higher education and all its benefits. While Manage the Madness courses cannot and do not substitute for university undergraduate or graduate level courses, they can and do provide foundational knowledge and understanding needed for being more effective and satisfied when working with, supervising, or leading others.
The goal of Manage the Madness is to help more people name, understand, and influence what contributes to effectiveness and thriving at work. I wish for students to leave their course feeling more empowered and better equipped to make a positive impact, with a deeper and fuller understanding of why they and others are having the work experiences that they are (from joys to stressors).
The content in Manage the Madness courses is evidence-based, meaning it emerges from my own academic research or my interpretation of other’s academic research that has been rigorously conducted and peer-reviewed. These laboratory experiments and on-site field studies seek to uncover findings that apply across diverse persons and organizational work settings. This has resulted in a large body of management knowledge that – when shared and understood – can be reliably leveraged by many (not just a select few) to be more successful at work.
