What makes some leaders effective when the stakes are high, while others fall short? Why are some able to not only survive but to lead their organizations to new heights even in risky, fast-changing times?

In her new book, HIGH-STAKES LEADERSHIP: LEADING THROUGH CRISIS WITH COURAGE, JUDGMENT AND FORTITUDE, Dierickx shows that successful leaders are expert practitioners in high-stakes leadership – the ability to lead effectively in times of whitewater change and great risk. This kind of leading requires the courage to make conscious decisions, the judgment to separate information from short-term trends, and the fortitude to remain true to oneself and one’s mission.

Constance Dierickx, PhD, is The Decision Doctor®. She specializes in working with organizations in high-stakes transitions. She helps organizations with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, CEO succession, strategic change and crisis.

Dierickx draws from more than twenty-five years of experience working with clients such as AAA, the Boys and Girls Club of America, IBM and Olive Garden to detail a 3-part model that is accessible to anyone – at any level in any organization, big or small. This model illuminates the mind-sets, strategies and tactics used to make tough decisions, take an unpopular stand or ignore convention.
