Break out of your comfort zone and join us on this spirited journey of asking great questions that open minds.
If you are actively looking to become a better leader of yourself or others, The Institute will equip you with the thinking, the character and the tools to do so.
We use the powerful concepts and unconventional perspectives developed over 50 years by thought-leader and prolific writer, Dr. Lee Thayer, supported by the wisdoms of great leaders and thinkers over millennia.
Through books, certification programs, seminars, in-house training and interactive learning groups with varying levels of engagement, The Thayer Institute is a not-for-profit organization that helps performance-minded individuals to create healthier, higher performing organizations and to craft better lives for themselves and those around them.
As you THINK, so will you BE; and as you ARE, so will you DO. Recipes for doing in life and in business produce short-term results — at best. Lasting change begins with better thinking and perspectives.
Much of what you encounter today is the impacts of a world in the knowing mode. This said, learning = growth and growth = life. The learning mode is open-minded. The knowing mode is closed-minded. Learning requires questioning. Knowing leads to statements. The best life always derives from the best questions.
In all of your waking hours with other people, you are necessarily engaged in playing a role. It may be a chosen role. Or it may be a role imposed by others or by the culture(s) which you inhabit. How well you perform your roles determines the quality of your organization and your life.
Most people and organizations are event or activity-driven. Those looking to craft better lives for themselves and their people are accomplishment-driven.
