by Dar Gillett - At Work Journal, May/June 1999

losing money, customers and employees - when it is sinking
fast - what does it take to make it not only viable, but
successful? In such times, the CEO’s decisions about
strategy and finance are critical, but they aren’t
everything. Just as important are the values, beliefs and
spirit the CEO brings to the job of breathing life back
into the organization. This is the story of one such CEO

"Leaders Helping Each Other"
Carol Coutrier and Dar Gillett - At Work Journal,
Nov./Dec. 1998
What kind of help do leaders need? Special skills or training? More advice from experts? Maybe what they need is very simple… just a chance to connect with each other, a place to talk through their dilemmas, tell their stories, and listen to others. Here is the story of how one group of leaders came together and what they achieved—for themselves, for each other, and for their businesses—as a result.

"Hard times? Manage results, not just resources"
by Darwin Gillett and Ronald N. Ashkenas - Advanced Management Journal, Autumn 1981
In trying to increase profits, many managers focus more on the denominator, resources, than on the numerator, results, of the profitability equation, cutting staff on the assumption that they can achieve the same or better results with fewer people. Although this strategy occasionally works in the short term, there are hidden costs that over time often cancel out the gains. Darwin Gillett, head of Gillett Associates (Bath, Maine and Greenwich, Connecticut) and Ronald N. Ashkenas, a member of Robert H. Schaffer & Associates (Stamford, Connecticut), believe that management attention is best focused on getting better results from existing resources, and they offer a three-step program for doing just that.
