Werner Hans Erhard (born John Paul Rosenberg; September 5, 1935) is an American critical thinker and author of transformational models and applications for individuals, groups, and organizations. He has written about integrity, performance, leadership and individual and organizational transformation. Erhard has lectured at (among other institutions) Harvard University, Stanford University, Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine, University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Southern California, University of Rochester, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Oxford Union at Oxford University, UNESCO, Geneva, and the US Air Force Academy.
Since 2002 Erhard has devoted his time to academia. He was originally known for developing the est training (1971–1983) and The Forum (1984–1991). In 1977 Erhard,with the support of John Denver, Robert W. Fuller, and others, founded the Hunger Project (a United Nations NGO) in which more than 4 million people have participated in establishing the end of hunger as an idea whose time has come.
In 1991 Erhard retired from business and sold his then-existing intellectual property to a group of his former employees who formed Landmark Education, renamed in 2013 as Landmark Worldwide. He has no ownership or management position in Landmark Worldwide, but at Landmark's request consults with them from time to time.
Much of Erhard's scholarly writing can be found on his author's page in the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), where Erhard is the 22nd-most downloaded author out of over 325,000 authors, and most recently at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI), and The Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation.
John Paul Rosenberg was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 5, 1935. His father was a small-restaurant owner who left Judaism for a Baptist mission before joining his wife in the Episcopal Church where she taught Sunday School. They agreed that their son should choose his religion for himself when he was old enough. He chose to be baptized in the Episcopal Church, served there for eight years as an acolyte and has been an Episcopalian ever since.
