Charlie Retts

Introduction

Dr. Retts has spent his professional career (25 years) re-engineering dysfunctional departments that are full of disengaged and actively disengaged employees and staff creating in their path a loss of productivity, a pile of union grievances, angry employees and high levels of employee and management turnover.

As a result he has also dedicated 35 years, non-stop, to teaching and training leadership as an adjunct faculty member for five universities in two states. His current passion is to give back what he has learned by consulting and teaching middle-management leadership and how to take back control of their departments and create high performing, productive and satisfying work cultures. Dr. Retts works with middle-managers to address the 2 most devastating mistakes they can make that will eventually create demotivated and disengaged employees and eventually sabotage all of their efforts to successfully meet and even exceed organizational objectives.

International experience includes designing leadership training for the Government of Egypt and providing communications consulting and training for National Panasonic in Japan. His doctorate is in adult education and human resources.
