As a scientist turned businessman, Tom Meylan gets things done that no one else can.
His teams consistently perform at factors of two or three better than similar groups
led by other approaches. Many of his methods for building strong and effective teams are
now contained in the popular book
Optimizing Luck, written with
long-term business associate Terry Teays (see below). Tom's leadership and
consulting activities cover a very wide range of contexts and industries.
Tom has designed the three big legs of EvolvingSuccess: LO+FT ®

(with Gene Allen). His speeches for EvolvingSuccess are all built
upon these three legs.
