Rick designs learning activities that business managers confront daily.\u00a0 These <strong>practical<\/strong> exercises prepare students for work situations they will encounter and<strong> illustrate how the book material translates from class to the work environment<\/strong>.\u00a0 For example, reviewing a job offer in a distant city requires students to consider the relevant variables, gather data, and analyze the findings. Another exercise involves drastically changing a fictitious company\u2019s culture.\u00a0 And yet another creates a recipe to recruit, hire, and train the staff required to rapidly expand the organization.\u00a0 <strong>Asking \u2018how is that done?\u2019 promotes self-discovery and life-long learning habits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rick owns Howell Management Consulting, a business venture that enhances his personal learning by keeping him current and ahead of textbooks. His experiences are translated into <strong>continuous examples, scenarios, and situations<\/strong> helping students develop expertise and insight into applications that make big differences in the work place.\u00a0 He highlights the implementation of an idea; a task that text books have difficulty describing, yet students practice in Rick\u2019s classes.
