A bit about Mr. Coonradt:

In 1973, Chuck Coonradt founded The Game of Work to answer the charge that U.S. productivity was not world class. Coonradt's methodology includes teaching the principles that unlock keys to employee involvement, engagement and energy, thereby affecting a company's bottom line. Prior to 1973 Coonradt had reflected, "Why would people pay for the privilege of working harder at their chosen sport or recreational pursuit than they would work at a job where they were being paid?" Chuck's answers to this reflection developed into five specific principles that answer why so many workers were more zealous about their leisure than their work.

Coonradt has developed a team of high-flying management consultants who teach management teams how to effectively integrate these five principles into their own enterprise, which include Fortune 500 companies all over the map. Corporate giants such as International Paper, Coca-Cola, and Ralston Purina have employed The Game of Work principles to improve their bottom line.

Chuck is a Michigan State University graduate. He is internationally recognized in the fields of goal setting and profit improvement, as an author, consultant, and speaker. His books, The Game of Work, Managing the Obvious, The Four Laws of Debt Free Prosperity, and Scorekeeping for Success have been labeled as management "must reads." He is a contributing author to the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, as well as a founding member and frequent lecturer at the School of Entrepreneurship, Brigham Young University, Marriott School of Management.

Over one million executives, managers, and supervisors on five continents have been exposed to Chuck's ideas on feedback, scorekeeping, goal setting, coaching, choice, and accountability. Other companies that have successfully utilized and implemented Chuck's unique concepts include The Chicago Tribune, Marker Bindings, Wendy's, Sherwin Williams, Boeing, Coors Brewing Company, Quaker Oats, Ralph's, and Sysco.
