“A thought provoking and insightful book of step by step for boards, managers, and staff alike! This is clearly not a “one and done” read! Thank you for capturing all of this information in one area in an easy to read format!”
Steven Rosen, GM — Indian Wells Golf Resort — Indian Wells, CA
A “must have” reference manual for Managers, Assistant Managers and Wanna-Be-Managers. The BIG issues are addressed, insights provided and guidance given in an easy to digest, easy to reference, easy to “thumb through” and enjoy format. “Plutonium” is a must-read because it’s delivering “the meat” in a fun-to-read format that’s energized with The BUZZ!!! Boring it ain’t — USEFUL it is. For anyone wanting to manage clubs, this is the one book that should be chewed on at least once-a-day, every day, forever. Good stuff!!!”
Gregg Patterson — Founder and President — “Tribal Magic!!!”
“As a past president, as well as a current member of multiple top-tier clubs, I can say that volunteer board members should read The ABC’s of Plutonium Private Club Leadership as a routine component of their orientation and that private club GM/COO’s and key department heads should all have their own personal copies as well. I have observed Michael’s impact at multiple private clubs, ranging from small town country clubs to major resort clubs over a long period of time and his “ABC’s” empowers everyone to produce a higher level of member experience.”
Walt Sinclair — Boise, Idaho
“This book tackles many private club issues with unique insight, fun and superb understanding of the challenges Club leaders face. The understanding of what Club leaders should expect from their GM and also what their fellow members should expect from the BOD’s is some of the best I have seen in any business. I worked very closely with Michael on a management transition in our Club, and he provided sound advice and leadership that we are benefitting from to this very day. However, most importantly, serving in Club leadership is fun and rewarding again.”
Gary D. Smith, President — Mission Hills Country Club — Mission Hills, KS
“This book is a ‘must read’ and reference item for any private club leader that wants to understand how an excellent Club should be run. Many insights provide a road map to problem solving for executives in the Club field.”
Sal V. Spano — Former Arvida/Disney CFO — President, Palm Beach Polo Golf and CC.
“Very compelling. Wished I had this information years ago! Easy and fun to read.”
Jody Clor, GM/COO — Old Overton Club — Vestavia Hills, AL
“The ABC’s of Plutonium Private Club Leadership is thought provoking, enjoyable and a must read for volunteer directors and industry professionals with a keen interest in gaining a deeper understanding and perspective of the Private Club Industry.”
Frank Cordeiro, COO — Diablo Country Club — Diablo, CA
