Brian Blazina - Guest Lecturer
“I have worked on and led many teams in my career, gaining real-time knowledge of effective and ineffective decision-making in organizations. Now… out of Physics, and just in time to help reinvent decision-making for transforming organizations, comes Mr. Noorani’s Powerful Methods for leadership. I am inspired and honored to assist him in his efforts to improve decision-making in a way that brings clarity to chaos, and eliminates the noise that hinders management from leading – something we can all use today!”
