Byron Kalies » Bio
Writer, golfer and golf writer, Byron Kalies has developed and moved on (not permanently in case there are any publishers reading this) from the relatively straightforward world of management consultancy with motivation, leadership, change matrices, decision making, communication, customer care, bottom lines, double-loop learning, stress, attribution theory, behavioural interviewing, project management, group think and Johnson and Scholes’ Cultural Web, to the complex and unfathomable world of hitting a ball into a hole.
Management and leadership in Organisations is a fantasy world where grown up people sit, argue, sulk and squander their lives creating money, jobs and helping people - on occasion. It’s interesting and worhwhile.
Golf, on the other hand, is frustrating, annoying, fun and, to be fair, of limited value in the important areas of our life; global warming, birth, world peace, elections or helping better get along better - quite the opposite actually.
However……. Byron hit a 5 iron the other day that started just left of the flag, drifted in on the wind, pitched about a yard from the hole and stopped dead.
