Because I Know People

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know people and their capacity to grow. As a change specialist, I know people processes, tailoring interventions to the unique needs of individuals and organizations. As an organizational specialist I know people organizations, and can help produce a culture of high performance. When people function at their best, it makes them happy and helps the organization achieve its goals. Learn more about my clinical practice, my consulting work with individuals and organizations, my book, and me. Let’s work together.         Tom DeMaio
 
 

 

 

 

 

Six key psychological principles provide a framework for leading and management in the book The Third Domain of Organizational Excellence:  The People Side of Business.  Co-written by Tom and Lee Hersch, this publication is an essential guide to how people function in the workplace.
