Alan Clark Goodman

GOSHEN:

Alan (Lanny) Clark Goodman

April 26, 1948 — December 21, 2024

Born in Boston, Lanny was the son of two distinguished scientists, his

father a nuclear physicist, and his mother a cultural anthropologist. Lanny

attended first grade in Japan, where his parents had traveled to work as

Fulbright Fellows. The family moved to Houston, Texas, where he attended

St. John’s School, an experience that left an indelible mark on his

worldview and career as an independent thinker.

Upon graduating from Beloit College with a fine arts degree, Lanny began a

fine jewelry manufacturing business in San Diego, California. After a few

years he sold his share of the business and started a sail loft, making

custom sails for the local sailing community.

While earning his MBA, a chance meeting with a friend of his father’s

resulted in his 30-year-long career as a management consultant. A

designer by nature, Lanny worked with CEOs to create self-managing

companies that harness the full talent and potential of all their employees.

Author of two masterful books, The End of Management and Becoming -

Evolving in a World that Holds Us Back (seedcraftpublishing.com), Lanny

deeply touched the lives of all those fortunate enough to have known him.

He is survived by his wife Christine, daughters Jenessa and Lillian, step-

children Arien and Nikelle, eight grandchildren, and his sister Gaye. He is

dearly missed.

Miller & Ketcham of Brandon is assisting the family.
