From the Paper:

" Having established himself as one of the premier leadership consultants, Tom has written numerous books, conducted a wide variety of seminars and has preached for many years concerning 'caring leaders'."
"Tom's states that a caring leader is a leader who will listen 100% of the time, and his thoughts on those leaders that does not listen to or care for underlings and employees, are controversial to say the least. While his statements about those he observes not 'caring' are, at times, not well received by the intended target, his seminars on how to become a 'leader in today's busy marketplace' are very well attended. As late as 2005, Tom was writing, reflecting and conducting over 85 seminars per year, half of those outside the United States."
