Meet a Game Changer: Paul Woodruff

In his book "The Ajax Dilemma," Paul Woodruff uses a parable from classical Greece to shed light on a very contemporary business dilemma: how to reward outstanding players without damaging the team. Tapping into his experience as a boss, a professor, an officer and an employee, Woodruff uses his broad perspective to issue an intriguing call for a compassionate approach to fairness.
Paul Woodruff will appear in a special double header edition of Game Changers: www.utexas.edu/gamechangers.
