Alex Draper

Alex Draper started life as a trainee schoolteacher in the UK. In 2002 he moved into adult education joining a global management training organization.  In 2005 he moved to Chicago to build and lead their Americas operation. 

In 2015 Draper founded DX with the purpose of wiping out bad leadership to create organizations worth working for.  DX is now a partner in progressive leadership training to expose and elimate bad leadership and prepare leaders to put people first. 

For the last 5 years, Draper and his team have narrowed their focus on operationalizing the theory of psychological safety.  He has created a simple framework for how leaders can build habits into the flow of work that focus on the core essentials of psycholological safety, and is working both on empirically testing the framework and writing a book. 

Draper has helped develop and unlock the leadership potential in over 40,000 people with DX’s leadership programs all over the world, while being a people-first leader himself at work and at home and building a human-centric movement.
