Learning to Lead

Wanting to lead and believing that you can are the departure points on the path to leadership development. No matter where you are on your leadership journey, improvement is always possible. You can be a better leader than you are today. You can be more effective. You can make more of a positive difference than you are making now—in your organization, at home, in the community, in the world.

Extraordinary things aren't done in huge leaps forward. They are done one step at a time. And if practice makes perfect, nowhere does that ring more true than in leadership development. Noting that real change begins when we turn our workplaces into practice fields for leadership, we provide solid evidence that shows why deliberate practice, as part of an ongoing leadership development process, is critical to becoming the best leader you can be.

“Leadership opportunities are presented to everyone . . . what makes the difference between being a leader and not is how you respond in the moment.”
