Dr. Randall White is a principal in The Executive Development Group, LLC and an adjunct professor at the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University. He also teaches MBA students and executives at the Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University.

His interest in where leaders come from, how they develop, and their eventual success is evidenced in his writing. His latest book, Relax, It's Only Uncertainty, co-authored with Phil Hodgson, expands their research on how leaders can be more effective by embracing rather than avoiding uncertainty. As co-author of Breaking the Glass Ceiling and The Future of Leadership, he has had a major impact on the way women are viewed as leaders and the importance of less easily measured leadership skills like dealing with uncertainty.

He has also written in both popular and scientific publications on leadership. He is the author of a critically acclaimed piece on different types of leadership coaching first published in Consulting Psychologist. He is currently working with Rick Gilkey of Emory University and Duke Corporate Education on a book tentatively titled From Clinician to Coach. And he just completed, along with Sheila Kampa-Kokesch, a chapter in the Handbook of Organizational Consulting Psychology.

Dr. White's work in leadership development regularly takes him to Europe, South America, and Pacific Asia. He is a frequent speaker for a variety of industry groups, including the Institute for Management Studies, the Conference Board of the U.S. and Canada, the Human Resources Planning Society, and the American Society for Training & Development. He maintains an affiliation with the Center for Creative Leadership, where he spent 12 years developing programs and research on leadership. His list of consulting clients includes Wachovia, Progress Energy, Aventis USA, AstraZeneca, National Cancer Institute, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Siemens, Aetna, ING, ABB, UBS PaineWebber, Omgeo, Deutsche Bank, Ericsson, Kennametal, Burlington Resources University of California at Los Angeles, and the US Federal Drug Administration.
