Kennedy Public Service Award and the Manuel Carballo Memorial Award. His leadership programs have helped thousands of people in 20 countries including Argentina, Zambia, India and Romania to create positive, breakthrough personal and social change in their lives and the lives of others. His first book, Full Alignment: A Practical Guide to Transforming Your Life Vision into Action, has so far been published in the U.S., China, India, Romania and Argentina. From the cover: “I came away feeling reenergized and rejuvenated…Full Alignment is an essential book for CEOs, middle managers, entrepreneurs, rising stars, self-starters, and others who want to embrace change and create and achieve more compelling goals in their work or life.”
-- From the foreword by Christine Letts, Dean for Executive Education, Harvard University
A PBS television show aired a 30-minute documentary on his life on television stations in over 40 U.S. states and various film festivals. He has also been featured on MSNBC, Voice of America and over 100 television stations and newspapers across America such as The San Francisco Chronicle and The Financial Times.
Anthony’s conferences are unique in that he renders the line between personal leadership and organizational leadership virtually indistinguishable. He notes that a Harvard study found that 85% of a leader’s success is attributable to personal character, and defines leadership as “the capacity to build multiple relationships toward a common purpose.”
Prior to starting The Executive Leadership Institute and The Center for Social Leadership, Anthony founded and served for 8 years as CEO of an international organization based in Washington D.C. with offices in five countries for which he raised over $15 million and managed 35 employees.
Anthony has been a Guest Lecturer on Corporate and Organizational Leadership at Harvard's JFK School of Government, Georgetown Business School, Stanford Law School, University of California/Berkeley, Howard University, George Washington University's Business School and many other universities. He also served for two years in the Peace Corps in Kenya.
