Bio
Booker Training Associates is a business Doug began after a successful military career, retiring as a Major from the Army in 1992. The idea for his work evolved as Doug began realizing the ‘challenge’ facing organizations in managing (leading) people. Ultimately, he focuses on organizational and individual leadership or better stated, helping with what he calls People-Systems.
Doug preaches “Never Stop Learning” which is an example he sets before others in his endeavor to complete an Executive MBA program as well as a Lean Business/Manufacturing Certification. In addition, he has completed a Master’s degree in Management.
Clients’ statements about Doug (paraphrased): “His knowledge-base and experience, combined with his humor and understanding of human relations, makes learning happen. He possesses a unique ability to relate to and challenge people’s thinking. Doug is a Change Agent - facilitating real behavioral change in individuals, teams and our culture. He helps us work better together” ; derived from experiences gained in working with hundreds of organizational leaders, gaining trust and achieving results.
For two decades, Doug has worked with a variety of industries and teaches Business Management courses with various universities. Along with his teaching and consulting work, he writes and distributes Leadership Moments, shares wisdom in monthly newsletters and has now authored five books.
Doug regards his faith, his wife Sydney, children, family and quality network of friends as the best parts of his life. Doug was selected as the Army’s National Leadership (ROTC) Faculty of the Year in 1989; receiving this recognition from the Secretary of Defense in Washington D.C.
Doug’s favorite quote, which he attempts to practice and emulate:
“People don’t care how much you know, until they first know how much you care.” (John Maxwell)
