James Bailey Email & Phone Number

I am fortunate to have had a blessed career. Education is my genuine calling. The thousands of students and executives over the last 30 years have been a true joy to engage. It's all about platforms; everyone launches from a different place. My writing, hopefully, provides lessons for novices and veterans alike. Leadership is transcendent, applying equally across jobs and times. I bring that ethic--that the practical is the eternal--to everything I do. Leadership is then, now, and again. It knits together yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Below is a standard biography. James R. Bailey is Professor and the Stacy and Jonathan Hochberg Fellow of Leadership Development at the George Washington University School of Business, and a Fellow in the Centre for Management Development, London Business School.
