Leadership. Consulting. Narrative Stewardship.

Dr. John DiCicco is an educator, author, leadership consultant, and Narrative Steward whose work sits at the intersection of how we lead and how we tell the stories that define us. He holds a B.S. in Organizational Behavior from Lesley University, an M.S. in Applied Management from Lesley University, and a Ph.D. in Education and Professional Development from Capella University, grounding his work in both academic rigor and real-world application.

John is also the sole proprietor of Organizational Analysis Systems, a Brockton-based consulting practice he has led for decades, providing leadership development, organizational assessment, and strategic guidance to businesses, nonprofits, and individuals seeking clarity and direction.

For more than 35 years, John has taught leadership, organizational behavior, marketing, and project management at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Curry College, shaping thousands of emerging professionals with a philosophy rooted in authenticity, courage, and personal responsibility. He also taught Creative Writing at Quincy College, deepening his commitment to helping individuals express their stories with clarity and emotional truth.

As a consultant, John helps leaders and organizations navigate complexity with clarity and purpose. His approach blends scholarship, lived experience, and a human-centered understanding of organizational dynamics. Whether advising executives, coaching emerging leaders, or guiding teams through change, John's work centers on one core belief:

Leadership is a choice — one made through awareness, integrity, and the stories we choose to live by.

John is the author and co-author of multiple leadership books, including The Authentic Leader, Differencia, Leadership Is a Choice, The Leadership Gene, and The Verdict. His writing distills decades of teaching and consulting into practical insights that help readers understand themselves, their teams, and the forces that shape effective leadership.

Alongside his leadership work, John serves as a Narrative Steward — a role that extends far beyond traditional ghostwriting. Stewardship is not about writing for someone; it is about writing with them. It is a collaborative, interpretive process rooted in deep listening, emotional presence, and the ability to translate lived experience into meaningful narrative form.
