About

Elizabeth R. Thornton is an author, speaker, Founder of the Global Initiative for Objective Leadership. Her book, The Objective Leader: How to Leverage the Power of Seeing Things As They Are, is based on a curriculum she developed and teaches to graduate students, entrepreneurs and corporate executives, centered on the premise that we are all subjective—it’s human nature. The Objective Leader teaches people that to succeed, we must consciously seek to increase our objectivity—seeing and accepting things as they are without projecting our mental models, fears, background, and personal experiences onto them.
