Personal Leadership
Leaders are not born, they're made. The qualities that define a good leader such as vision, focus, motivation, curiosity, discipline, positive attitude, perserverance, analytical thinking, excellent communication skills, and so forth are most definitely developed and not inherited. These skills can be developed to a high level of effectiveness or left to wilt, unrecognized as well as untapped.
How you develop these skills and channel them into a specific direction will determine your future. You also have the responsibitily to develop

your potential, and it's up to you to realize your full potential. You can't ask anyone else to do it for you, and you can't blame anyone else for holding you back. The quality of your leadership not only determines your future, it helps determine the future of your family, your organization, your community, and potentially the world.
This development process provides you with proven methodology to identify your purpose in life and to pursue it.
The components employed to help the individual accomplish the desired results include:
- Written materials that ensure that everyone has the opportunity to start out with the same level of knowledge.
- Audio materials that are effective to help the subject matter become "internalized" through reinforcement and spaced repetition.
- A Workbook that both challenges and helps distill thought processes.
- A high degree of interaction among participants, in order to develop both consensus and commitment.
- A facilitator who will act as an "equal opportunity harasser" in order to maximize the beneficial outcome of the implementation.
