Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?

You've built something real. Now your decisions shape systems, people, and long-term consequence. Leadership TBD exists for CEOs operating where certainty thins and judgment carries weight.

Private engagement. Curated circles. Both built for consequence.

Enter the Room

Clarity that changes everything.

Clarity that changes everything.

Joelle Thayer — Founder, Leadership TBD

“The work is personal.”

This isn’t for everyone.

But if you recognize yourself here—keep reading.

LeadershipTBD is for CEOs who:

  • Have built something real, and still want more

  • Are tired of rooms that play it safe

  • Crave sharper thinking, not more advice

  • Are ready to reflect, evolve, and lead differently

  • Value challenge over reassurance

  • Understand that how they think becomes the business

If this resonates, you already know.

This isn’t coaching. It’s consequence.

Leadership TBD exists for leaders who have outgrown surface-level solutions.

This is where serious CEOs go when conventional coaching, curated content, and clever frameworks stop working.

  • We challenge how you think about them

  • We refine the questions

  • We operate where the stakes are real

Thinking that moves.

Built to evolve.

Leadership refined.

Thinking that moves. Built to evolve. Leadership refined.

“What matters most is who you are becoming.”

— Dr. Lee Thayer

The Work

This is where you become the leader your future requires.

  • Private 1:1 partnership — confidential, rigorous, conducted virtually or in person.

    This is disciplined work focused on how you frame problems, assign ownership, anticipate consequence, and perform your role when certainty fails.

    Not performance tips. Not accountability theater. Judgment refined where it matters.

  • Invitation-only peer circles for accomplished leaders operating under comparable weight.

    Each circle includes private 1:1 partnership alongside group dialogue.

    No networking. No validation. Structural clarity under pressure.

About the Founder

This work is personal — because leadership under consequence is personal.

Joelle Thayer — Founder, Leadership TBD

Before founding Leadership TBD, I spent three decades inside complex, high-performance organizations where execution was visible and accountability could not be delegated. Strategy either survived contact with reality — or it didn’t.

That experience defines the standard I hold here.

The discipline underlying the work is grounded in the doctrine of Dr. Lee Thayer — leadership as thinking, being, and doing under consequence. Not preservation. Application.

Leadership TBD is where that standard is practiced in live enterprise.

I don’t offer answers. I refine how leaders think — so their decisions hold.
