Synopsis

Thayer introduces readers of his new book to the many outstanding mentors he encountered over the past fifty years. His book is a tribute to these talented individuals and describes how they worked with their associates to overcome challenges and build successful organizations. These remarkable people exhibit a wide range of leadership styles and Thayer’s stories highlight their accomplishments in several industries, professional organizations and non-profits. Thayer also includes a few examples of leadership gone wrong. Credit Check is a not an “academic” description of leadership. As Chairman of the American Associate of Bank Directors [2007-2013], Thayer is in the unique position to share his thoughts about the leadership role of bank directors in today’s regulatory environment. His articles in Directors & Boards magazine and Directors Digest provide a practical reference for anyone serving as a board member of any organization today. The availability of information on the Internet is viewed by many as a replacement for the need to seek advice or to learn from the personal experience of other people. Thayer’s book illustrates why Wikipedia cannot replace the value of experience and guidance provided by mentors.
