Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the following individuals who knowingly or unknowingly aided and abetted this book. These include Roger Chevalier, Robert and Harriet Gagne, M. David Merrill, Mark Morrow, William Rothwell, Geary Rummler, and Ron Zemke. I am also indebted to the many clients and colleagues with whom I have worked over the years, which include AT&T, The Bank of America, Docent, Panasonic Broadcast Systems, Toyota, Wilson Learning, and Xerox. I would also like to express my gratitude to two editorial magicians— Jacquie Flynn, senior acquisitions editor at AMACOM, and Niels Buessem of Andover Publishing Services. And my final thanks go to my wife Lori Gordon Miles, who marshaled her own considerable writing talents as well as her jargon-detector to help keep this project on track.
