Glenn Hatton

After spending 25+ years as a manager within the world of retail distribution, Glenn Hatton realized

that the work world in 2020 was painfully missing two things: common sense and good work ethic.

Glenn was raised in rural Kentucky working on the family farm that consisted of raising tobacco along

with a dairy operation. Growing up in that world quickly taught him that you had to be willing to work in

order to survive and you often must make do with what is available to you rather than waiting for better

days to come. As an adult, Glenn applied his farm logic to his work life and quickly rose to success as a

young manager working in various retail distribution centers during the 1990’s and 2000’s.

Glenn took the lessons from his childhood and advice from mentors along the way to forge a successful

career while raising two daughters as a single father. Glenn is now taking his perspectives and insights

on being a manager to the literary world with his first book: So You Want To Be A Manager? Glenn

hopes to reach soon-to-be managers and leaders, providing them with the inside knowledge of what to

expect in these roles as they start down their own path. Current managers will be able to gain just as

much knowledge from this book, especially as they look for ways to expand their careers into the next

level.

Glenn plans to create a future series of books based on his own life experiences. They will cover life on

the farm during the Farm Crisis of the 1980’s and how building good relationships is the key to

maintaining a healthy life. Glenn will also offer the perspectives he gained from spending all those years

being a part-time therapist for the individuals he has managed, whether he wanted to be one or not.

Life goes by quickly and can change in an instant. Therefore, Glenn hopes his writings will help others

take a moment to embrace what is around them while applying logic and reason to the choices they

make while on their own life paths.
