About the Author?H. James Harrington

The New York Times referred to him as having a "knack for synthesis and an open mind about packaging his knowledge and experience in new ways ? characteristics that may matter more as prerequisites for new-economy success than technical wizardry." Well-known business management practices author, Tom Peters, stated, "I fervently hope that Harrington?s readers will not only benefit from the thoroughness of his effort but will also ?smell? the fundamental nature of the challenge for change that he mounts." William Clinton, past president of the United States, appointed Dr. Harrington to serve as an Ambassador of Good Will. It has been said about him, "He writes the books that other consultants use."
Harrington Institute was featured on a half-hour TV program, Heartbeat of America, which focuses on outstanding small businesses that make America strong.
