"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
- William Shakespeare
Are leaders born or made? This question has been debated for years.
What is the definition of leadership? There are hundreds of definitions from every imaginable source.
What are the characteristics of great leadership and are they universal?
Our approach to leadership development is that leadership is personal. We bring many different views and approaches to leadership and encourage the participants in our leadership development classes to try them out. Our classes invite debate and discussion about the characteristics of leadership and provide an opportunity to explore leadership from the lessons learned from leaders, past and present. |

We provide tools to assist our participants in their leadership development. One tool is a feedback instrument that provides confidential feedback to participants on their leadership practices as perceived by their peers, employees and supervisors. Self-knowledge is a critical success factor for leadership development.
Another tool that we often use is the Bolman and Deal Four Frame Model, from their book, "Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice and Leadership". The book develops four practical perspectives: structural, human resource, political, and symbolic to help managers understand what is going on in their organizations and what they can do about it.
We believe leadership potential exists in everyone and at every level in an organization. Our leadership programs are custom designed to ensure relevance to your environment and appropriateness for the audience.
