Steve Farber is a visionary leadership expert, best-selling author, and the founder of The Extreme Leadership Institute, renowned for his proprietary Radical LEAP framework which revolutionises how C-Suite executives cultivate transformational corporate cultures.
Steve Farber’s distinguished career includes his pivotal role as Vice President of the Tom Peters Company, where he advised some of the world’s most forward-thinking organisations. Today, as the founder and CEO of The Extreme Leadership Institute, he equips global enterprises with the strategic foresight required to navigate complex market dynamics. His philosophy challenges traditional management paradigms, proving that high-level engagement and emotional intelligence—when operationalised through structured frameworks—yield measurable financial and operational success. Farber has been consistently ranked as one of Inc. magazine’s Top 50 Leadership and Management Experts, reflecting his enduring impact on global corporate strategy.
Farber is the chief architect of the Radical LEAP framework, a strategic methodology based on Love, Energy, Audacity, and Proof. This framework forms the cornerstone of his best-selling literature, including The Radical Leap, which was recognised as one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. His subsequent literary contributions, including The Radical Edge, Greater Than Yourself, and Love is Just Damn Good Business, further expand upon his thesis that authentic leadership is the ultimate competitive advantage in the modern economy. His work shifts the paradigm of leadership from a title-based hierarchy to a dynamic, action-oriented discipline.
“As I expected Steve was phenomenal...Feedback from the students included remarks such as: 'He gets it' 'He is in touch with us and how we need to operate and lead in the future'...'Steve was right on, the best leadership speaker I have ever heard'. I know that the students will put LEAP into action.”
“Your message of Extreme Leadership was directly on-target and inspired the entire group. Your mix of humor and emotion, together with the relevance of the topic to our situation at General Mills, kept the audience captivated. Thanks again for a great day and a compelling message. We will all remember the key message that you delivered and its importance to our everyday life both at work and home: 'Do what you love in the service of people who love what you do.”
They don’t teach this stuff in business school, but they should. Every leader at every level of every organization needs to take Farber’s message to heart and put it into action. It’s what I strive to do every day in my business. Steve spoke at our international convention of 2000 people from 150 countries, and he rocked the house. He was fantastic!”
“Thank you for sharing your expertise with our audience and contributing to the huge success of our conference. Your presentation on Extreme Leadership Principles to Change the World inspired our audience. Without a doubt driving the end-to-end process improvement or any major business activity requires energizing leadership regardless of a job level. We are grateful for your participation at the Microsoft QBE Forum.”
“Your message to our Leadership Team was so eloquently delivered I was left speechless. It wasn't just a speech -- one way and directional -- but rather a mantra to live and work by. Your message about love, energy, audacity and proof hit home with every one of the folks in that room. It was tangible and practical and could be put to application immediately. In fact, we did so throughout the next day by creating action plans to implement that energy to create change in our culture. It was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever heard. I was thoroughly impressed in how you made the whole session so personal to the Bayer team. Your preparation is impeccable. I was personally moved and wanted to thank you for the opportunity to have that experience, to watch our Leadership Team get ignited with passion, and to propel us to GREATNESS.”
