There is No Such Thing as a “Born Leader...“

For decades now, billions of dollars have been wasted every year on “leadership training” and the needle hasn’t moved (according to the statistics above). After 25 years, we now understand why.

Leadership is not a technique or skill, nor is it embodied by shiny objects (i.e. financial, athletic or academic success). Leadership is about character. You’re not born with character; you have to build it. That’s why we say there is no such thing as a “born leader.”

It’s also why we say that, contrary to popular belief, leadership is for the MANY, not the few.

Stronger leadership requires many things: skills, knowledge, passion, and wisdom. Above all, it requires leading with your best self. However, this cannot be attained without a basic understanding of temperament and character, which together, make-up a person’s core.

The objective of the training is to practice the language and process of temperament and character, thereby setting you up for success as a stronger leader. Indeed, every person is born with a temperament, and their character is formed (to one degree or another) over the time of their life.  

This is why every person can be a stronger leader if they so desire. But they must have the resources to make building character and becoming an authentic leader possible.

About this Extended Workshop:

  • The format is eight, bi-weekly (one 4-hour, one 3-hour, and then six 2-hour) small group sessions on the first and third Fridays of each month from February to May and June to September focused on building one tool you can take with you and use to improve your condition.
  • This program is for successful leaders that want to build leadership strength and a committed community.

In this Program, You Will:

  • You will gain a better understanding of temperament and character.
  • You will learn how to skillfully connect and close your authenticity gap.

An effective feedback loop and organizational transparency are the keys to optimizing performance.
