Expert Profile: Dr. Mac

Expertise:  I can answer just about any question in the area of team building. I've been facilitating team building for over twenty-five years with all types of organizations around the country. Go to www.greggiesenassociates.com to see my client list. I'm using the alias "Dr. Mac" because he is the main character in my latest management book, Ask Dr. Mac.

Again, twenty-five years of experience here. I also would be happy to email a generic teambuilding proposal if you'd like to see how I set up teambuildings.

What do you like about this subject?  Everything.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I plan to take my leadership program, Leading From Within (www.leadingfromwithin.net), to a national level of recognition.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  It is more about the skills of the facilitator than the activities. Shhhh!
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Going to a baseball game with colleagues is not really considered "teambuilding" in my book. A key component of teambuilding is to assess strengths and weaknesses of the group and ways to improve. All the games and activities are merely meant to loosen a group up so that they are able to have such a conversation.

Dr. Mac was great. He got back to me very quickly, and his feedback was relevant and helpful.
