PR Log (Press Release) – May 15, 2008 – •  Today, internationally recognized executive leadership expert, Dr. Lee Thayer, will address the participants of CEO Fellows in Rochester, NY. Chief executives from companies throughout the Greater Rochester area join together monthly to participate in CEO Fellows – a learning group aimed at refining problem solving and decision making competencies necessary to thrive in a tough local and national economy. During the presentation, Dr. Thayer will discuss his revolutionary and practical framework for understanding what it takes to lead the way to creating high performance organizations.
•   Dr. Thayer has been invited to work in most of the major leadership development programs in the U.S. and abroad. Thayer has conducted hundreds of seminars and has spoken before thousands of executives. Thayer continues to coach executives through tough economic times using his leadership skills and his focus on achievement, rather than on pop psychology. He was the consultant behind the now well-known success story at Johnsonville Foods - which Tom Peters referred to as "the most remarkable example of organizational transformation" he had ever seen.  
•   The CEO Fellows program curriculum is built around competency modules designed by Dr. Thayer and illustrated in his book titled, Leadership: Thinking, Being, Doing (new and revised edition). CEO Fellows was developed by Bruce Peters, CEO of CABHQ, LLC, a Pittsford-based consulting firm that provides strategic business solutions and facilitation services to financial advisors, major corporations, small businesses and senior executives. Incorporating Dr. Thayer’s leadership principles, the program consists of ten full-day peer group meetings of 10 to 12 senior-level executives, four presentation and discussion sessions with recognized experts in key facets of leadership, and leadership assessment tools.
•   "It isn't what you know that creates excellence - ninety-five percent of it is in the implementation,” says Dr. Thayer, CEO coach, author and popular seminar leader. “For that, you need a guide and a mentor - someone who's been there in all kinds of conditions."
•   “CEO Fellows is designed to enhance CEOs’ and top level executives’ ability to lead a company towards becoming a high performance organization,” notes Bruce Peters. “We have adopted Dr. Thayer’s peer-to-peer learning approach into our curriculum. The demand for group learning solutions is constant and widespread.”  
•   Dr. Thayer also authored How Executives Fail: 25 Surefire Recipes for Sabotaging Your Career and the Field Guide to Leadership that is scheduled to be released in June 2008. All three of Thayer’s books are published by WME Books http://www.wmebooks.com.
