About Me
Just Who is Michael Wade?
I have advised a pool of leaders and team members as diverse as chief executive officers, Army generals, professional athletes, fire chiefs, city managers, and first-line supervisors. My primary focus has been on sensitive management issues.
My consulting career began in 1984, but I served earlier as the Equal Employment Opportunity Administrator for the City of Phoenix and as the Command Equal Opportunity Officer for the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command in Washington, D.C.
I've written seven books and also wrote an online career advice column for U.S. News & World Report. No stranger to airports, I have trained leaders and managers in 48 states and Puerto Rico.
[Vermont and Wisconsin await!]
I hold a Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona College of Law and also have a degree in Government.
My most recent book, a novel, came out in 2026. Pilate's Magician: A Novel of the Resurrection examines the most famous trial in history. It is available on Amazon.
I also write the Execupundit blog as well as a column on Substack.
As with most people, I've had an array of volunteer activities and positions. I currently serve on the national Advisory Board of the Prohuman Foundation.
