Mick now trains people at all levels of management. "If I can make someone's role as a manager a bit easier, or a company more effective, then I'm happy" he says. "Successful companies are the product of successful individuals."

He believes that management skills are readily transferable and feels strongly that an organisation that values the management of people will outlive and outperform the competition.
