It was during his 6 years as a sales executive that he observed a general lack of high quality teamwork in the corporate workplace. He identified a definite need for corporate team development programs that addressed the core issues causing poor teamwork as opposed to the commonplace "team-building activities" that provided a band-aid approach to the problem.
