John Dentico
Dr. John P. Dentico has spent the last 25 years working to educate and train leaders in the art and practice of 21st-century leadership. He is the founder of LeadSimm LLC, the creator of the LeadSimm Leadership Impact Simulation Method of training and the author of Throttle Up: How to Accelerate the Impact of 21st Century Leadership.
Dr. Dentico is a leadership maverick whose work centers on leadership occurring as a practice or intended action rather than residing in the traits or behaviors of particular individuals. For Dr. Dentico, there is a difference between being a leader and doing leadership. More to the point, there is a difference between leader development and leadership practice and action.
His LeadSimm Leadership Impact Simulation Method is a non-computer based 21st-century leadership practice field. It has been used to instill 21st century leadership practices in those faced with such complex issues as: counter-terrorism, narco-terrorism, airport security, emergency response, crime reduction, gang warfare, opening day of a new baseball stadium, protection of petroleum facilities, vital ports and bridges and mass transit systems throughout the United States.
In addition to his work at LeadSimm LLC, Dr. Dentico served for ten years as a special consultant to the Division of Public Safety Leadership at the Johns Hopkins University and for twelve years as an instructor in the LEEDA program at the FBI Academy. While at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Dentico presented and co-facilitated a strategic thinking session for a multi-disciplined group focused on the crime of identity theft. Additionally, he co-wrote the National Strategy to Combat Identity Theft. While at the FBI Academy, he devised, developed and facilitated LeadSimm counter-terrorism and narco-terrorism simulations for over 1000 senior law enforcement officers from around the globe.
Dr. Dentico holds a Doctorate in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego.

Throttle Up: How To Accelerate The Impact of 21st Century Leadership

Business, Education, How To
LEADERSHIP CAN BE anything one says it is—that is until a person or group has to do something complex with it. For the most part, leadership development remains an exercise of the abstract ostensibly possessed by the heroic or gifted few and disconnected from the multifaceted real-world challenges of everyday life. Throttle Up represents a departure from the traditional perspective in which leadership resides in the traits or behaviors of individuals in leadership roles. Instead, Throttle Up asserts that leadership in the 21st century is a practice to be learned-proving there is a difference between being a “leader” and “doing” leadership. To accelerate the transition to 21st-century leadership practices, Throttle Up offers seven action-oriented processes including: • How to complete a strategic thinking session • How to initiate and establish a leadership network • How to create storybooks to accelerate culture shifts • How to use the four frames to create compelling communications to support a culture shift (Wax-On, Wax-Off) • What five questions to ask when selecting a 21st-century leadership impact program • How to apply the LeadSimm® Leadership Impact Simulation Method • How to create and implement a pull learning education and evaluation strategy designed to assess the training impact on the organization
