"Few firms are truly prepared for what has come to be called the 'War for Executive Talent.'"

Jay Conger is ranked by Business Week as one of the top five management gurus and the top business school professor to teach leadership to executives. He is the top ranked professor at USC's core MBA program, consults with corporations worldwide, and is the author of many books, including Building Leaders and Learning to Lead.

Former executive director of the Leadership Institute at the University of Southern California, former Professor of Organizational Behavior at the London Business School, and two-time recipient of McGill University's Distinguished Teaching Award, Dr. Conger is frequently quoted for his analyses of current trends in business and the latest developments in leadership.
