About Us

At Four Star Leaders, we are dedicated to building ever-better leaders through a proven, science-backed approach to leadership development. Founded by Dr. Tom Collins—pediatric cardiologist, leadership researcher, and author of The Four Stars of Leadership—our mission is to equip leaders with the skills, insights, and strategies they need to thrive in today’s complex and dynamic environments.

​

Our unique training and development programs are grounded in the Four Stars of Leadership framework: Character, Competence, Caring, and Communication. This framework, shaped by interviews with 51 retired U.S. Military Four-Star Generals and Admirals and validated by a study of physician leaders at Stanford University, offers a scientifically grounded system for leading with excellence.

​

We offer a range of services tailored to organizations and individuals, including workshops, seminars, executive leadership coaching, keynote presentations, and thought-provoking content through podcasts, videos, and articles. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a business leader, a military leader, an academic, or part of a high-performing team, Four Star Leaders delivers practical, actionable strategies to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and impact.

​

Join us in our mission to create leaders who inspire, empower, and drive success in their organizations and communities. Together, we can shape a better future, one leader at a time.
