Thayer Leadership

True leaders – the ones who courageously enact change, master opposition, foster productivity, and respond decisively – demonstrate leadership daily. It’s not enough to just know about leadership. At Thayer Leadership, we span the gap between knowing about leadership in theory and acting like a leader when it counts. We combine one of the nation’s most prestigious and decorated faculty with top field practitioners to facilitate the only leadership development program of its kind, building leaders in the very same time-honored tradition that has helped build one of the world’s most powerful nations.

The mission of Thayer Leadership is to inspire and build leaders of character by offering leadership and ethics education grounded in time-honored military principles and values-based leadership delivered by proven leaders.  

As a premier executive leader development organization, Thayer offers unparalleled leadership experiences that blend world-class applied academic and experiential sessions to unleash the “whole leader”. We provide access to top battle- and boardroom-tested experts who have lived, served, and practiced the leadership principles they teach. By embracing the spirit of Sylvanus Thayer, our namesake and the “Father of West Point”, we deliver transformative leader development experiences that inspire action and change based on our values of purpose driven character, commitment to excellence, and innovative spirit.
 
Thayer’s unique approach to leadership development was founded on the Army’s leadership philosophy of “Be, Know, Do” which focuses on creating complete leaders through the development of character, knowledge, and application. As a leading, global expert in values-based leader development, our proprietary and motivating multi-pronged learning approach delivers a holistic experience for participants at West Point, online, virtually, or at any location around the world.
