Be A Better Leader: The Role vs. The Job - Leadership expert, Dr. Lee Thayer, is the author of many books, including his latest, The Competent Organization

the CEO Hour, July 29th 2011.  

Dr. Lee Thayer, WCEOHQ's resident leadership guru and author of the the blog The Leader's Journey, joins Bruce and Diana at the top of this week's show.

The Leader's Journey developed out of the four decades of his experiences as coach and mentor to dozens of company presidents and CEOs from the Fortune 50 to the renowned case of Johnsonville Foods. His research and work has taken him to Europe, Australia, Latin America, and Scandanavia, to the lecture halls of most of the major universities of the world, and to the seminar rooms of hundreds of organizations in the United States and abroad.

His goal in this blog is to share that experience with readers and "rattle cages" -- to help committed CEOs and other top executives transform themselves into leaders and their organizations into healthier, more vigorous, and more adaptive high-performance organizations.

"The journey won't always be comfortable, but we should be able to have some fun along the way."

Moxie Exchange Movement: New National Business Group for Women - Maureen Berkner Boyt, Moxie founder, changes the way women come together to grow professionally

the CEO Hour, July 22nd 2011.

As founder, owner, matriarch and rock star royale of The Moxie Exchange Movement, Maureen Berkner Boyt knows what it takes to inspire action, encourage collaboration and shake up the status quo. It takes Moxie, of course! A background in business (she owns three), organizational development (a master's degree), and managing mergers (wheee!) doesn't hurt either. Maureen - you can call her Mo - is a lover of all things business. Her bedside table is stacked with business books (yawn) and she has always known the power of collaboration between smart women. She has been connecting great businesswomen for years, through her Estrogen Power Lunches, and got a strong message from the women around her that it was time to share the love nationally. Thus, The Moxie Exchange Movement was born. http://www.moxieexchange.com
