I am an entrepreneur turned teacher, author, and marketing consultant. As a Professor of Management I am committed to experiential teaching methods where students learn to think on their feet and to deal with theory in respect to its impact on real world problems. After almost twenty years working in Silicon Valley with many innovative geniuses I returned to school and earned a doctorate with a dissertation on the Innovator Personality. The goal was to validate those characteristics I found pervasive in Silicon Valley.
Visionary genius tends to iconoclasm.
They are Prometheans with a penchant for charisma and passion and proclivity for competitive drive, radicalism, optimism and tenacity. They never do anything for money and are always willing to bet it all on their dreams. These renegades tend to frighten bureaucrats who see them as a threat to the precious status-quo. My eight books are psycho-biographical studies on what it takes to be great. We highly recommend it to teachers, parents, and gifted students.
