Books

I really like to help people learn and get ahead, so when I see information that can help others, I just have to write and speak about it. Somehow that “hobby” has driven me to write 27 books published by Macmillan and J Wiley press.

My books have sold approximately 3,000,000 copies and have been translated into 19 languages for countries ranging from South Korea to Romania. Four titles became international best-sellers. And the book “Balanced Scorecards and Operational Dashboards with Microsoft Excel” has earned a five-star rating on Amazon and has been the #1 rated book on Balanced Scorecards and dashboards multiple times. What’s amazing to me is that it has been, with the exception of a few nights on deadline, a tremendous amount of fun!
