The Origins of Worthy Leadership

As LWF Founder and CEO, A. Dale Thompson, PhD, reflected on the number of truly brilliant executives he personally knew or had assessed in his 25+ years as an executive consultant, he was disturbed by how many of them had failed so catastrophically. Too many failed to lead with integrity, protect stakeholders, or appropriately manage self-interest –thus they, their organizations, and society were paying an enormous price for their failures. It quickly became clear that these leaders, despite their many talents, were not worth following. After studying what went wrong, he concluded that leadership needed to be worthy – and that Worthy Leadership needed to be anchored in The Capacity, Commitment, and Character to Lead. Since its founding, LWF has been dedicated to helping companies identify and develop Worthy Leadership for their organizations!
