ML269: Edward Tyson (Leader & Author)

“Every step on the journey from expert to executive leads away from your craft. This sentiment is easier to grasp than embrace; and neither grasping nor embracing it is a requirement for reaching the rank, responsibilities, or rewards of an executive.” – wow, a powerful start to an impactful book. 

Today’s guest, Edward. E. Tyson is a former strategy executive and Marine turned executive coach and organizational consultant. He is also the CEO of PerSynergy Consulting and the best-selling author of From Expert to Executive: Mastering the ABCs SOPs of Leading – the book I just read from moments ago. From Expert to Executive is a business fable about the transition from subject matter expert to enterprise leader. More than just a story about some struggling scientists at a biotech firm, it introduces Ed’s LeadershipSOPs framework and methodology which encourages leaders to develop and deploy personal standard operating procedures for structuring, operating, and perfecting their communities of effort.

Before founding PerSynergy nearly 10 years ago, Ed accumulated 20 years of leadership experience in a range of military, non-profit, private, and publicly traded organizations. He received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Pennsylvania State University, and earned his master’s degree in adult organizational development from Temple University.

Ed was born in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania but now resides by the sea in San Clemente, California with his wife and the youngest of his two sons.
