Before earning a doctorate at UCLA, Dr. Kaye did graduate work in organization development at MIT Sloan School of Management, and earned a Master's Degree from George Washington University.        

Dr. Kaye has spent years researching corporate strategies for developing, engaging and retaining knowledge workers.  Her book, Love 'Em or Lose 'Em: Getting Good People to Stay, (Berrett-Koehler, 3d Ed. 2005) co-authored with Sharon Jordan-Evans, has sold over 350,000 copies in 16 languages and has reached Wall Street Journal and Amazon best seller status.  Learning Journeys (Davies-Black, 2001), edited by Dr. Kaye, is a collection of essays from top management experts.  Her new book, Love It, Don't Leave It:  26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work (Berrett-Koehler, 2003), also a WSJ best seller, is designed to put job satisfaction in the hands of the employee.        

In the early '80's, Dr. Kaye first published her now classic book, Up is NOT the Only Way (revised, Davies-Black, 1997), which foresaw the effects of leaner and flatter organizations on individual careers.  During the last two decades, she has worked with a host of organizations to establish career development systems and coaching interventions.  At the same time, she has been a strong proponent of the need for employees to manage their own careers.
