Press Release announcing Peter’s selection of Kelly Allan to carry on his work. Contact: Communications & Research – Kelly Allan Associates, Ltd. Kelly Allan Peter Scholtes Dateline: Columbus, Ohio Summary: Well-known author, speaker, and consultant Peter Scholtes chooses Columbus, Ohio-based consulting firm, Kelly Allan Associates, Ltd. to carry on his work. Details: From 1987 to 1993 Mr. Peter Scholtes shared the platform with Dr. W. Edwards Deming, helping to educate corporations about the new philosophy of the Quality movement. He was one of the first to synthesize the principles of the organizational development field with the teachings of Dr. Deming. In March of 1995, Quality Digest recognized Mr. Peter Scholtes as one of the 50 Quality leaders of the decade. Peter Scholtes is the author of The Team Handbook and The Leader's Handbook: Making Things Happen, Getting Things Done. He has written award-winning articles on several Quality-related topics, including the controversial topic of performance appraisal: What's wrong with it and what to do instead. Due to recent health problems, Peter Scholtes has asked longtime colleague Kelly Allan to head up the team to continue his presentations, consulting, and communications. “I have encouraged several friends to offer assistance in helping promote my teachings and beliefs,” says Peter. “I trust them to carry on in the same spirit as I would. I have asked Kelly Allan to take the leadership in this effort, and am delighted that he has agreed. “I am still committed to my work, yet I am resigned to continuing on my sabbatical for now. It seems that I am not likely to return to doing formal presentations … I still take joy in the creativity that this work inspires. I am involved in sharing writing ideas with many people, yet the idea of writing anything as ambitious as another book makes the idea of becoming a harmless amusing eccentric increasingly more attractive.” “Peter Scholtes has been a pioneer in helping organizations become places that are both highly productive and highly desirable places to work,” says Kelly Allan, senior associate of Kelly Allan Associates, Ltd. “For instance, the “Six New Leadership Competencies” Peter Scholtes has identified are powerful tools for helping managers transform how they make things happen and get things done. They are inspirational, scientific, and effective.” Kelly Allan Associates, Ltd. specializes in a multi-disciplinary suite of management, marketing, strategy, and operations consulting services to help clients face challenges and capture opportunities
