�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

James Abbott has made a career out of taking technical topics and explaining them so that anyone can understand. A professional engineer for more than 30 years, James learned early on that even the best methods are useless unless they are delivered in a fashion that allows their swift and effective implementation. Inspired by the great Southern tradition of storytelling, James uses anecdotes about Grandma�s biscuits and a visit to the grocery store to explain scientific concepts like queuing theory and reporting metrics.
James isn�t afraid to get his hands dirty. In the course of his coaching and engineering he�s worked alongside electric engine assemblers, in a high-pressure call center, and on the third shift of an IT help desk. It is his ability to learn a business�from the ground up�that has allowed James to develop methods and tools for everyone from the CEO to the custodial staff.
Though he has worked throughout the Western Hemisphere, James�s home is in Greenville, South Carolina. He is the author of fourteen books.
