bio

Dr. Keith M. Eigel, Ph.D. is a founder of The Leaders Lyceum, an organization dedicated to creating developmental opportunities that impact the whole person, leveraging experiences both in and out of work to accelerate the leader’s journey to real effectiveness.  The focus of The Leaders Lyceum is on executive and next-generation leaders; emphasizing the development of who they are and who they are becoming as a developmental priority if they are to increase their capacity for effectiveness.

Initially inspired by the work of Dr. Robert Kegan, a developmental psychologist at Harvard, Keith began to apply the principles of adult development to leadership in the mid ‘90s. Working with colleagues from the University of Georgia and Harvard, Keith’s research with CEOs from some of the largest public companies in the world, showed that the leader’s developmental level (how the leader knows) is more important than what the leader knows. His research and subsequent work has contributed to some of the most important thinking in leadership research around the world. Most recently his work has been cited in Dr. Keganʼs book, Immunity To Change, Kegan & Leahy 2009, Harvard Business School Publishing.

Prior to founding The Leaders Lyceum, Dr. Eigel was a partner with Irwin & Browning, as well as president of Leadership Development Inc. With these organizations, he has worked with a variety of clients including Fortune 100 and other industry-leading organizations in high-tech, manufacturing, financial and service industries as well as many private organizations. He has developed leadership curriculum, consulted with individual leaders, facilitated mission, change and integration management, and conflict resolution workshops; developed selection systems, and conducted executive assessment for both hiring and development.

Dr. Eigel received his Masters and Ph.D. in Industrial/ Organizational Psychology from the University of Georgia where he was elected to the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.  He received his B.A. in Communication and Public Speaking from Georgia State University where he graduated with honors and was awarded for outstanding leadership by the Mortar Board Senior Honor Society.

Keith is a member of the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology, the American Psychological Association, and the Academy of Management.
