He has counseled and coached over 2,000 CEOs, presidents, senior executives and managers from all industries. Two thirds of those he counseled had been released from their positions by their organization. When he asked them why they were released, many said there was a lack of communication and engagement between them and their boss. They barely talked to each other. The research shows a disengaged boss can let talented people sit on the sidelines and drive them out the door. Dr. Mulligan learned much about leadership and management from the conversations he had with his clients. .
Prior to Mulligan & Associates, Dr. Mulligan served as Management Development Director for Century 21 of Northern Illinois where he directed a staff of six consultants and taught in the Management Development Academy.
