About the Author
George Bradt has a unique perspective on transformational leadership based on his combined senior line management and consulting experience. After his education at Harvard and Wharton, George progressed through sales, marketing and general management roles around the world at Fortune 500 companies including Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and then J.D. Power and Associates as chief executive of its Power Information Network spin off.
Now he is a Principal of CEO Connection and Managing Director of PrimeGenesis, the executive onboarding and transition acceleration group he founded in 2002. Since then, George and PrimeGenesis have reduced the risk of failure fourfold for executives they have worked with - from 40% to 10% - based on their own team, tools and perspective on delivering better results faster.
George and his wife Meg and his dogs Augie and Lanie live in Stamford, Connecticut. They moved there from New York City the long way - via Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, the United Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and California. Their three children drop by from time to time between their own various travels to try to soak up more back to school chats.
