Dov Seidman Biography

Over 25 years ago, Dov Seidman founded LRN, a technology and education company that provides ethics and compliance software and content to organizations worldwide. As the CEO and founder, Seidman has grown LRN to influence over 35 million corporate employees globally, emphasizing that the most principled businesses are the most profitable and sustainable.

The book, with a foreword from President Bill Clinton, has been published in multiple countries including the U.S., U.K., Germany, China, and Brazil, and was recognized in Thomas L. Friedman’s books "The World is Flat" and "Hot, Flat and Crowded." Seidman’s insights into leadership, trust, and the human operating system have been featured in major media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Fortune Magazine.

Today, the "HOW" philosophy influences how businesses, governments, and various institutions operate globally. Dov holds master’s degrees in moral philosophy from UCLA and Oxford, as well as a law degree from Harvard. His work before the U.S. Sentencing Commission helped shape today's standards for corporate ethics. Known for his expertise in principled performance, leadership, and corporate culture, Seidman was named a “Game Changer” by Time Magazine and one of the "Top Thought Leaders of the Past Decade" by The Economic Times. Dov also serves on the board of directors for several organizations including the 92nd Street Y and The Lawrence J. Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine.

HOW: Why HOW We Do Anything Means Everything ... in Business (and in Life)

What's more potent than any business model, product pipeline or breakthrough technology? It's human behavior – the one thing that cannot be copied or turned into a commodity – the ultimate source of competitive advantage.

In this dynamic presentation, acclaimed business leader and best-selling author Dov Seidman argues that how we do things – rather than what we do – is the ultimate differentiator in business and every other part of life.

Drawing from his recent book and a career built on proving that the most principled businesses are ultimately the most profitable, Dov powerfully illustrates that lasting advantage can be won by literally outbehaving the competition. This dynamic thought leader and visionary explains to audiences:

  • The surprising power that lies in the way we do things … the power of how.

  • The lasting benefits of doing the right thing – on and away from the job.

From Outperform to Outbehave: How Your Behavior Can Help You Win and Win Over the Long Term

In a world that’s smaller, more connected, more aware, it’s increasingly hard to stand out from competitors. One of the country's preeminent thought leaders explains why behavior based on principles, values and character invariably will win – in sales and all of business.

In this powerful presentation, global business leader and acclaimed author Dov Seidman shows that by keeping promises, acting with integrity and building trust, companies and their sales teams can win customers and keep them for the long term.

Audiences will learn how to:

  • Create a culture within their organizations that prizes values-based behavior

  • Build an enduring business advantage no competitor can replicate.

Inspirational Leadership: Get Great Performance By Inspiring Around Your Mission and Values

For today’s senior executives, the challenge is a universal one: how to inspire employees to perform at a consistently high level … without costly investments.

Acclaimed thought leader and best-selling author Dov Seidman explores the principles of inspirational leadership. In this riveting, interactive presentation, he explains the difference between inspiring others versus motivating or coercing them, showing why it’s far more important to do the former. Through research and examples, he will show how great results come from employees bought into a company’s underlying mission and values.

Audiences will be energized and inspired by one of the business world's leading thinkers. And they will never view their business, their associates or their ability to lead the same way. In particular, they will:

  • Discover the secret to developing high-performing, values-driven leaders in every corner and every level of their organization

  • Learn how to develop an inspired, deeply committed workforce that powers their company's success.
