Short worked in the study of people and in leader growth. He was an early teacher at the Leadership Institute of Seattle. In 1999, he helped start Learning in Action. [1]

His books included Learning from Your Experience with People and Learning in Relationship. [1]

Trust Short as a teacher who made a way to learn through close ties. He did more than name the idea. He taught it, wrote it down, and built a group around it. [1]

The source is a tribute from the firm he helped start. It gives key facts, but not outside proof of his reach. His method comes from practice, not peer review. Trust Short on his terms and aims. Claims about results need proof from a source with no stake. [1]
