“Gail took charge of our department’s annual daylong retreat. She turned a 20-year tradition upside-down by putting staff employees, not managers, in charge of the planning process.
“That’s a democratic approach you rarely see in the public sector. It acknowledged the concerns of people at the staff level, making the process an exercise in self-affirmation for the planners. And the event was great!
“In evaluations, people said they felt connected with one another and were proud of the organization and their contributions. They said it was the best event in 20 years.”
— Ray Vargas, Housing Administrator, Department of Community Development and Housing, City of Glendale
“Dr. Sam Alibrando was retained ... to provide a professional program designed to improve the quality of communication between the partners and to enhance the overall effectiveness of management team functioning. He has been very successful in working with the partners to achieve these goals. He brought to bear on these matters a broad range of tasks, projects, and activities that have provided management team members with new understanding of the nature of effective interpersonal communication and group functioning and their individual roles in achieving them.”
— Carol Thorsell, Executive Vice President, DMS-Services
