WEST POINT, NY, JAN 9, 2018—Chief Executive Group, the leading community for American business leaders, announced this morning a new partnership with Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point, the premier global expert in values-based leader development.
Under the agreement, CEG and TLDG will create and distribute content and co-host events with the goal of improving the performance and leadership abilities of America’s top business leaders, utilizing the wisdom, experience and training of some of the U.S. Army’s most experienced and effective former officers.
“For more than 200 years, The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has been one of America’s true crown jewels, furnishing the nation with generations of top-level leadership,” said Marshall Cooper, CEO of Chief Executive Group. “Passing on the lessons developed there is the cornerstone of TLDG’s mission, and that aligns perfectly with the work of Chief Executive Group. It’s a natural fit and we couldn’t be more excited.”
“The mission of the Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point is to help build leaders of character by offering leadership and ethics education grounded in the U.S. Army leadership philosophy of ‘Be, Know, Do’ and the U.S. Military Academy values of ‘Duty, Honor, Country,’” said Dan Rice, President, TLDG, a graduate of the USMA and former Army Captain. “In CEG, we’ve found a partner in complete alignment with our values and goals. We’re thrilled to be working with them.”
