Written by Rick Weaver, an accomplished business executive with a wealth of experience in retail, market analysis, supply chain enhancement, project management, team building, and process improvement.

Rick’s career began in retailing as a stock clerk, eventually becoming the Director of Vendor Development at Kmart Corporation during its heyday. In this position he worked with hundreds of Kmart’s suppliers to improve mutual processes, procedures, and profits.

Time and time again Rick was amazed at the untapped talent he found at all levels of each company. He decided to focus on developing programs that would draw out the hidden abilities within each person.

In 2002, he left Kmart to concentrate fully on developing people skills and organizational strategy. He founded MaxImpact where he uses his vast experience to connect individuals to their dreams and teams connect to a shared vision.

 

This book relates stories about the people, things, and events that have taught him how to extract talent from every person.
