joined The William Oncken Corporation in 1978 as Manager
of Product Development. In 1985 he was appointed President under
William Oncken, Jr., Chairman, CEO and creator of the Oncken
proprietary training programs including the famous "Managing
Management Time (TM)" seminar with his
legendary "monkey-on-the-back" analogy. Bill succeeded
his father, the late William Oncken, Jr., in February 1988 as
CEO of the corporation.
William Oncken,

followed by several years in the insurance and estate planning
industry. Prior to that he had been a Regular Army Officer where
he served as a Ranger and Paratrooper. He spent his pre-college
years as an enlisted man in the infantry (Airborne) with duty
in Vietnam (1966), and upon his discharge attended Texas A&M
University, graduating in 1971 as a Distinguished Military Student.
A gifted writer
and articulator of issues of general management concern, Bill
frequently appears as keynote speaker for conferences, and conducts
training programs for corporations; his articles appear in many
professional publications including Executive Excellence and
Success magazines. His latest book, "Monkey Business:
Are You Controlling Events Or Are Events Controlling You?"
will be released in Fall 2000.
The unique philosophy
of Oncken's internationally known seminar, "Managing
Management Time (TM)", now in its 40th
year, enjoys international success with all levels of management
and has become an integral part of the cultures of organizations,
including Abbott Laboratories, Florida Power & Light, Krueger
International, Milliken & Company, Western Union, and various
U. S. government agencies, at the federal and state levels. |
