An internationally recognized expert on crisis leadership and leadership in extreme contexts, Kolditz is active in the development of programs for leadership and leader development in everything from project teams to large organizations.

Leadership: Leading as if Your Life Depended on It has gone big in China and will be re-released and updated with new cover art.  You may also have seen Gen. Kolditz speaking about extreme leadership on this month’s edition of 60 Minutes Sports, with Everest mountaineer Alison Levine, currently airing on Showtime.  

Additionally, with the recent uprising in the Ukraine, General Kolditz has been called upon to participate in the Ukrainian Leadership Summit. Kolditz will present Building Trust in Uncertain Contexts during this two-day event in October, where top scholars and local and regional business leaders will come together to share their knowledge and expertise to support leadership development in this emerging country’s time of need. According to Kolditz, “The country needs leaders who people willingly trust in conditions of threat and uncertainty. Conditions are in extremis: a matter of life and death.” While stability in the region is contingent on many factors, leadership is seen as the crucial element that could settle separatists’ disputes.
