Bio

Use this in your collateral materials:

Leaders worldwide study Christopher's research because it shows them how to consciously expand their leadership power and ability everyday so they can grow faster, overcome challenges, and achieve their potential while energizing their teams and organizations. Unlike anecdotal approaches to leadership training and development, Christopher's immediately effective mentoring derives from 18 years of field studies on the front lines of leadership about how personal responsibility (i.e., the first principle of success) operates in our minds.

These rich discoveries are changing how people live more fulfilling lives; how leaders lead; how agile teams get built; and how coaches and parents teach and inspire personal responsibility in their charges.

Best-known for his cutting-edge work to de-mystify and then develop practical team leadership skills for engineers, geeks, and other technical professionals whom Peter Drucker claimed must be led rather than managed–– Christopher Avery, Ph.D., is a popular speaker, author, and international business advisor on responsible leadership, teamwork, and change. He wrote the popular classic Teamwork Is An Individual Skill for everyone at work who thinks they must put up with bad teams.

And now he’s redefining leadership responsibility and accountability. As the visionary force behind the Leadership Gift development e-program and community for leaders, Christopher applies ground-breaking discoveries about personal responsibility and performance to support leaders intent on rapidly building highly reliable, agile, sustainable, and accelerating teams and cultures.

Christopher is a Senior Consultant with the IT and Agile Project Management practices of the Cutter Consortium, a Boston-area think tank. He co-founded the Agile Project Leadership Network dedicated to connecting, developing, and supporting great project leaders. Christopher earned his Doctorate in the Communication of Technology from The University of Texas at Austin where he occasionally lectures. He is a Visiting Scholar at Capella University.

The author of hundreds of articles and commentaries about individual and collective performance at work, Christopher is a popular source for the media and has been featured or quoted in Investors Business Daily, the Chicago Tribune, Training+Development magazine, HR Executive, NPR, ABCNews.com, HR.com and USAToday.com among others.
