While teaching at the MBA program at the University of Michigan (Ross School of Business), Tichy along with Jim Danko and Paul Danos, first instituted " the defining attribute" of the program: Multidisciplinary Action Projects in which students work on an actual corporate business issue.[1] In 2009, the Washington Post named Control Your Destiny or Someone Else Will which he co-authored with Stratford Sherman as one of the Top 10 leadership books.[2] As the director of global development at GE's Crotonville,[3] from 1985–1987[4] he instituted the action learning programs which helped make it "one of the premiere corporate learning centers in the world."[5]
He has been named one of the top "Management Gurus".[3][6] He is an advocate of leaders being teachers as well as managers.[7] He is the co-author along with Warren Bennis of Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls.[8] The New York Times review stated that they "write about 'empowering frontline people,' but they seem hung up on finding that single Great Leader. "[9] His book Succession says that most organization's leadership succession plans are merely check-the-box activities which are not appropriately executed and outlines seven common failures.[10] The New York Times says that his book is "sometimes angry" and uses case studies to make his points.[11] Tichy has been an adviser for over 30 CEO transitions, including General Motors.[12]
