This week: Two Sides of the Coin: The Russians' Point of View Milt Garrett, owner and CEO of Garrett Group International, will be speaking to the club on Thursday, April 4, at our regular noon meeting. Garrett will share some perspectives and points of view of Russians, from his staff and interpreters, Russian university students, and ambassadorial and news sources. 
Milt Garrett Their question to Garrett is, “Why is America mad at us?” Why are Putin and Russians at odds with America, resulting in international conflicts, sanctions, and election meddling? Why is Russia being so aggressive today? While Putin is acting like a bully, the better question is “why?” What agreements with the Russians have been kept or not kept since perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall by the various U.S. administrations? What about placing missiles in Poland, the U.N. Security Council on Libya, Ukraine turning West, Crimea, and the new U.S. guided missile destroyer. While he professes that he does not have all the answers about Russia, politically or economically, socially or environmentally, he does encourage questions and dialogue. Dr. Garrett has clients in seven countries, with an overseas focus on Russia’s economic recovery. For 41 years as a special consultant helping public and private organizations, he improves their competitive edge and their profits by working on their management systems. In particular, Garrett has worked across Russia’s 11-time zones from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, with clients in 226 cities. He is a “Deming Disciple,” a teacher in the International Quality movement, and a Senior State Quality Awards Examiner. In addition, he is an internationally known consultant and executive coach to CEOs as well as federal, state, and local public officials. |
