Rick is an excellent manager, probably one of the best ever. He is the human template of everything described in a Dale Carnegie management book. Rick managed me during my stint at WebMD. He is really proactive and involved without micromanaging his employees. He does not let his management role estrange him from the trenches, and that puts him in a good position to work tactics and logistics in order to push a project through. On any given day, he can get involved in the details of a project mid-stream as if he were working on it from the start. Rick is very good about keeping his charges on task and on schedule, but also helps them in case there are issues. Finally, Rick personifies quality rather than just pay lip-service to it. When I was reporting to him, he put in place documentation, training systems, peer-reviews as well as several other modes of feedback to ensure that our group delivered quality work. When it comes to overall competence, Rick is the gold standard.
