Description

The Leadership Lyceum: A CEO's Virtual Mentor podcast series provides situational advice to a wide audience of leaders and boards of directors through conversations with those that have been there. The podcast brings unprecedented, one-on-one access to top, current and retired, CEOs and Directors of Boards and provides beneficial information and valuable insight on situational and topical issues that confront CEOs and Boards from those that have faced them before - often in dramatic circumstances. Consider it a "Virtual Mentor" for CEOs and other leaders, because let's face it – it's lonely at the top. There are basic leadership challenges common to all CEOs as well as specific situational circumstances that warrant attention in our series. The interview format delivers memoir, profile, perspective, and in a unique fashion - not only draws answers - but also brings fundamental insight. We hope that you will find merit in all the episodes and comment and contribute your own situations of interest. We'll do our best to cover them with those CEOs that have faced them.
