Rick Kranzley
is a thought leader in the practice of leadership. He has been a mentor, theologian, and author who has spent over five decades observing leadership from the inside—across public, private, and spiritual institutions.
As a Executive Coach, he has worked with leaders up and down the organizational pyramid, coaching toward peak performance. With leadership teams he helped create environments of respect, trust and accountability where differences can be valued, strengths utilized, obstacles overcome.
His work explores the intersection of conscience, power, and truth, challenging the silent patterns that allow leadership to drift from integrity.
Through a growing body of books—including Conscientious Leader, The Devil’s Playbook, and In the Grip—he offers a clear and uncompromising message: Leadership is not a position. It is a practice of conscience.
Rick holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master’s Degree of Divinity, and a Doctorate of Ministry.

Rick:
Exposes uncomfortable truth
Names moral failure
Calls for conscience
He does not teach leadership as a skill, but examines leadership as a moral responsibility. What does it mean to lead—and live—with conscience in a world of increasing complexity and power?
