About usDon Morgan, Ph.D. founded Morgan Management Consulting to provide busy executives with insight and systems to more effectively lead their organizations. Dr. Morgan developed the acclaimed organizational empowerment program Leadership by Objectives. He is a certified Leader Effectiveness Trainer by Thomas Gordon, a national consultant by Performax Systems, and a Greening of Relationships Facilitator by Tressler Associates.
After a two-year stint as principal of Amana High School in Iowa, I joined the staff as a consultant with the Iowa Educational Information Center. IEIC was a consortium of the U.S. Office of Education, the Iowa State Department of Public Instruction, Measurement Research Corporation, and the University of Iowa. One of our charges was to study “various types of human behavior.” Our target populations were school drop-outs, juvenile delinquents, under-achievers, vocational disorientation, student leaders, and creative students. While at the University of Iowa, I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Administration. In 1968 I accepted a professorship as a consultant and Assistant Director of the Research-Learning Center at Clarion University. There I directed a federally funded ESEA Title III program promoting innovations in elementary and secondary schools and taught management classes in the College of Business. I also served as a guest instructor for graduate classes at Penn State University, and worked for the Pennsylvania Office of Education as a school improvement consultant and as a competency-based educational consultant to universities in the state. I diagnose problems and implement solutions in the human side of business through observation, cooperative planning, training, and evaluation. I attribute my success as a Quality Improvement Facilitator to my participative style of drawing on the experience and knowledge of clients’ employees. As a school administrator, I was results oriented. I introduced job enrichment and participative management approaches with the faculty. I worked to empower the employees under my supervision. My client list includes many corporations, 11 universities, 2 State Departments of Education, a law firm and over one hundred other nonprofit entities, mostly educational institutions, churches, and a hospital. I have edited training manuals and promotional materials for several companies. I attribute my success as a coach, both in sports and business to my ability to analyze situations and clearly articulate corrective action with candor and sensitivity. I have been recognized as a catalyst for change and successfully implementing desired results. Patricia Morgan, Ph.D. began her consulting career in 1977 when, as member of a large national union, was chosen as a trainer to teach grievance reps from other locals about union-management protocol and how to file grievances. She was elected chairperson of a 200 member local union, where her leadership skills became noticed. She subsequently took a leave from her job and became a full-time college student, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in business in 1981. She taught college classes in general and developmental psychology, and study skills, worked in the university counseling center and was a part-time psychotherapist in a private practice. Her 680 page Ph.D. thesis was about the lived experiences of seven young mothers who had undergone mastectomies. After the Ph.D. (2001), she completed a two-year internship as lead therapist for a family-based mental health program. Now, she is a licensed clinical psychologist providing executive coaching and organizational effectiveness consulting |
I began my career as a high school athletic coach. During those eight years, it became my nature to be totally candid. Candor is a premium during a one-minute timeout. There was no time for anything but straight talk.
