Lee Thayer Challenges CEOs To Become Leaders By Thinking, Being And Doing
Rochester, NY – (July 12, 2007) Thought leader and
national CEO consultant, Lee Thayer, will tell you, “You can’t
learn to be a ‘leader.’ History decides that.”
In the provocative 2006 revision of his popular book
Leadership: Thinking, Being, Doing, Thayer once again is
challenging existing leaders to join the excellence of Thinking,
Being, Doing.
Thayer continues to rattle CEO cages as only he can, challenging
them to learn “How To Think What Needs Thinking About,” how to
uncover “Obstacles and Barriers,” all the way to his “Envoi,”
where he advises, “It’s good to know as much as you can at the
outset of your journey. But, as ancient wisdom has it, when it
comes to matters like leadership, what you have to learn… you
have to learn by doing.”
Praise for Thayer’s work, including his recent book,
How
Executives Fail, comes from CEOs and thought leaders the world
over. James O’Toole, author of Leading Change, writes of
Leadership, “It’s a great guidebook…reflecting years of hard-won
experience.” From Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a
Leader, on How Executives Fail, comes this approval,
“The best ‘insurance’ book on leadership I’ve read… It’s
terrific!”
Thayer may be best known for his acerbic wit and his engaging
style, and perhaps lesser known for his sense of humor, but each
characteristic plays to his focus on guiding excellence –
organization by organization. Having served as a consultant to
clients such as IBM, AT&T, Westinghouse, Boeing, Curtiss-Wright,
Shell, General Motors, Thayer is renowned for teaching the ‘how’
as much as the ‘why.’ And his new book, Leadership: Thinking,
Being, Doing, is an extension of his work. |
