Russ Linden “Management Matters” Articles
Russ Linden is a management educator who specializes in organizational change methods. Recently he began an electronic newsletter about management and innovation in the public sector. There are many innovations in play these days, but which ones make sense? Which are simply trendy and will have a very short life? Most importantly, which ones apply to your office and your work? These are some of the questions that Russ will address in coming issues of his newsletter.
Since 1980, Russ has helped government, non-profit and private-sector organizations develop leadership, foster innovation, and improve organizational performance. He is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Virginia, University of Maryland, and the Federal Executive Institute. To learn more about Russ, visit his web site at www.russlinden.com
