Everyone who knew Nick knows how special he was. I was fortunate enough to have met him 45 years ago when I was a graduate student at Cornell and took a course in organizational change from this visiting British professor. Over the years I had many wonderful times with Nick. He loved being on stage and enchanted my MBA students as well as executives in my programs. He was a marvelous story teller and generous with both his time and knowledge. He was a gifted and passionate professional, and a very special friend. Thanks, Nick, for all we shared.
