Rick Hann retired after 35 years of working in management positions for three major aerospace corporations in Southern California, as well as the consumer electronics industry. Over the course of a career divided equally between HR Information systems management, management training, and executive development, he came to think of himself as a "connoisseur of bad management." He is currently spending his time developing material to help employees (and managers) survive in the Corporate Jungle.

He is the author of Executive Malice.
