He's also served as the Chief Change and Learning Strategist for the United States Transportation Command, the country’s premier global transportation provider. In this live webcast, General Michel will describe the approach he uses to evaluate every new project and management assignment along with the formula he's developed for getting the best possible results in every management situation.
