ALDIE, VA, June 26, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Gye B. Johnson has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Johnson, a distinguished leader in the field of organizational development, has carved out a remarkable career path for himself that spans military service, government roles and private-sector entrepreneurship. As the founder and chief executive officer of Gye Johnson Leadership Consulting Firm LLC, he has dedicated nearly the past 10 years to revolutionizing leadership training through his innovative STRIVE to HEAL™ leadership framework. This model, which integrates his extensive observations and experiences, is the cornerstone of his book and serves as the foundation for workshops and certification programs designed to inspire a new way of thinking about leadership.

Initially, Dr. Johnson began his professional journey by serving as a medic in the United States Army; however, following an injury several years in, he pivoted from a pre-med track to a focus on business. While his time serving was cut short, his military background, which was deeply rooted in a family tradition of service, instilled in him resilience and adaptability—qualities that have been instrumental throughout his career. Following his military service, Dr. Johnson transitioned to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), where he spent over two decades honing his expertise as a leadership instructor and organizational facilitator. During that time, he played a pivotal role in redesigning and delivering leadership training programs for senior professionals, an achievement he regards as one of his most significant.

In addition to his work with the CIA, Dr. Johnson founded Gye Johnson Leadership Consulting Firm LLC (formerly TMT Leadership Consulting LLC) in 2017, which he still operates. Specifically, his consulting firm focuses on helping leaders who have suffered a significant setback in their career, to process the origin of that setback, learn from it, and, as Dr. Johnson is fond of saying, "Help them recover from breakdown to breakthrough." This new and innovative model combines the external practices of best leaders (STRIVE) with the internal work that must be done to be successful (HEAL).

Along with his consulting work, he serves as the executive coach and leadership development specialist at LEADZ, a position he has held since 2020. All in all, Dr. Johnson's ability to connect with individuals at all levels—from first-time supervisors to high-ranking executives—has made him a sought-after executive coach and leadership development specialist.

Dr. Johnson's academic credentials are equally impressive as his diverse hands-on experience. He earned a Doctor of Management in organizational leadership from the University of Phoenix in 2008, completing much of his coursework while deployed in various combat locations. Moreover, he holds a Master of Project Management from DeVry University's Keller Graduate School of Management and a Bachelor of Science in technical management from the same university. Furthermore, his education has been complemented by numerous certifications, including an Executive Certificate in Facilitation from Georgetown University and various coaching credentials from the International Coaching Federation, where he is also a member of the District of Columbia chapter, among other affiliations.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Johnson is actively involved in civic initiatives. He supports the Purple Heart Foundation through clothing donations and assists with charitable efforts aimed at combating gun violence and providing scholarships. Additionally, he contributes to his church's recovery group program, further demonstrating his commitment to community service. In his leisure, Dr. Johnson enjoys golfing, nature walks with his wife and karaoke sessions with family and friends.

As a knowledgeable and passionate professional, Dr. Johnson hopes to continue to expand the reach of his STRIVE to HEAL™ model through workshops, his forthcoming book of the same name, and an upcoming TED Talk. All in all, he remains dedicated to making a lasting impact on leadership practices while cherishing quality time with his family. For him, it is not about the money, but the impact he can make. Ultimately, Dr. Johnson's vision for the future includes maximizing the influence of his leadership model and fostering enthusiasm around its principles, all while balancing his roles as a devoted father and husband.
