Bill Treasurer is the Chief Encouragement Officer at Giant Leap Consulting (GLC), a courage-building company that exists to help people and organizations be more courageous to drive superior performance. He is dedicated to advancing the new organizational development practice of courage-building, a concept that he introduced in his internationally bestselling book, Courage Goes to Work. ------------------------------------ Bill's newest book is Leadership Two Words at a Time: Simple Truths for Leading Complicated People. It serves as a playbook for new leaders, covering the essentials that will improve performance, effectiveness, and enjoyment. John Ryan, past president and CEO of the Center for Creative Leadership, calls the book "honest, funny, and deeply insightful." Jeff Hayes, president and CEO of The Myers-Briggs Company says, “I have read many books on leadership during my career, but none have provided the practical guidance reflection and call to action that Leadership Two Words at a Time does...This is truly a must-read playbook, if you will, for every new leader. In fact, it’s a wonderful resource for all leaders.” ------------------------------------ Bill co-authored The Leadership Killer: Reclaiming Humility in an Age of Arrogance with U.S. Navy Seal Captain John Havlik (retired). Tony Bingham, president and CEO of the Association for Talent Development called the book a "valuable resource on what every leader should know, embrace, and practice if they want to be successful in the most meaningful way." E. Gordon Gee, the current president of West Virginia University, said, "In an age crying out for wise judgment and effective leadership, “The Leadership Killer” is an essential read." ------------------------------------ Bill is the author of A Leadership Kick in the Ass, which focuses on the importance of confidence and humility. The book received rousing endorsements from leadership luminaries such as Ken Blanchard, Marshall Goldsmith, Jim Kouzes, Adam Grant, and many others, and received the Gold Award from the Nonfiction Book Awards. Bill also wrote Leaders Open Doors, a simplified approach to leadership that emphasizes the importance of leaders as opportunity-creators. Bill donates all his royalties from this book to programs that support children with special needs. Bill is the creator of Courageous Leadership: Using Courage to Transform the Workplace. The comprehensive off-the-shelf courage-building training program has been taught on five continents in twelve countries since being published in 2011. Bill's first book, Right Risk is about how to take smart risks, and draws on Treasurer's experiences as both an organizational development professional and as a daredevil athlete. Bill's insights have been featured in hundreds of national and global media outlets, including The Washington Post, The NY Daily News, The Chicago Tribune, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Boston Herald, and Investor's Business Daily, Entrepreneur Magazine, Huffington Post, Leader-to-Leader, Woman's Day, Parent, Redbook, Fitness, American Way, and The Harvard Management Update. Since 1991, he has conducted over 1000 corporate workshops designed to strengthen people's leadership skills, improve team performance, accelerate innovation, and help executives behave more courageously. Among his clients are NASA, Saks Fifth Avenue, eBay, Accenture, UBS Bank, Spanx, eBay, Lenovo, Walsh Construction, Hugo Boss, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Forest Service, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs.
