During this time, Slocum began writing articles by the dozens for academic journals, became very active in the Academy of Management, and started amassing a sizable list of consulting clients. Then, after a brief stint at Ohio State and some more years back at Penn, Slocum came south to Cox. In addition to finding a university that was supportive of his interest in writing for professional practitioners, Slocum also found a wholly different environment. At Cox, I've gotten to know my students. It's not uncommon for a kid to come by my office and thank me.
Kids are over at our house all the time, especially the golfers.
How people conduct themselves on a golf course is exactly how they conduct themselves in business. The game involves a great deal of creativity. There are many ways to approach the same shot. Everyone plays off their own competencies. Additionally, what Slocum enjoys about golf is that it's a universal game of competition.
