Washington, D. C. and Los Angeles (PRWEB) June 7, 2007

The Human Capital Institute (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/home. guid) (HCI), a global professional association and educator in talent management strategies, and Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management, one of the world's top business schools, announced today that Dr. E. Ted Prince, CEO and Founder of the Perth Leadership Institute, will speak at the next B-School Network and Learn event (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/events_bschools. guid) for the Southern California business community.

The event will take place on the West Los Angeles Graduate campus, 6100 Center Drive, on Wednesday, June 12, 2007, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PT.

Dr. Prince will present, "Linking Leadership to the Bottom Line," (http://www. humancapitalinstitute. org/hci/events_bschool. guid?_trainingID=1100) which will explore concepts set forth in his book, "The Three Financial Styles of Very Successful Executives," published by McGraw-Hill in August 2005, as well as concepts explored in his article, "The Fiscal Behavior of CEOs," which was recently published in the prestigious journal of MIT's Sloan School of Management.

"This is a great opportunity for HR executives to invite their C-suite business partners -- CEOs, CFOs, COOs, VP's of Finance -- to learn about the impact of different leadership styles on key financial metrics, and how those impacts can make or break the bottom line," said Allan Schweyer, HCI's President & Executive Director. "Having the right leaders is critical for financial success in today's knowledge economy."

At this session, Dr. Prince will explore how the innate financial competencies of managers impact the performance and valuation outcomes of organizations. He will also show how executives and human resource managers can identify and leverage the financial personalities of potential hires.

Dr. Prince is an expert in the area of leadership performance and improvement. His book addresses the Financial Signature™ of leaders and its impact on company outcome and valuation. After extensive research on the personality and leadership styles of hundreds of high-profile C-level executives, Dr. Prince has developed a predictive model that can actually forecast the impact that a leader will have on the corporate bottom line. Amazingly, many who would be considered model managers are destined to constrain attempts to achieve organizational objectives year after year due to leadership styles that could easily be fixed through proper coaching.

Dr. E. Ted Prince is an expert in the area of leadership performance and improvement. As CEO and Founder of the Perth Leadership Institute, he is the architect of the Perth Leadership Outcome Model, the basis for the Perth Leadership System, which is used by corporations and executive education organizations. He consults to CEOs, boards, and senior executives on leadership improvement.

Prince has an extensive background at the CEO level in both public and private companies. He was Chairman and CEO of Clearstory Systems, Inc. (formerly INSCI Corp.), a Boston-based public (NASDAQ) company that developed enterprise content management software, a role in which he served for almost six years. Among several other CEO roles, he also served as President and CEO of Computer Power Group in New York (later acquired by Spherion).

In addition to his work with the Perth Leadership Institute, Dr. Prince holds the position of Visiting Lecturer at the University of Florida where he teaches Entrepreneurship in the Warrington College of Business, Graduate Division.

E. Ted Prince holds a BA First Class Honors degree in languages and political science from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and an MA and Ph. D. in political science from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
