The evidence-based study shows definitively the common behavioral characteristics that the top achieving leaders employ to set themselves apart from their lesser achieving colleagues.

The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born - that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
It proves leadership is not accidental. There is a clear model and a language for effective leadership that exists and it can be learned by others.

More impressive is the fact that these leaders use these characteristics to create an environment of collaboration, commitment, and creativity that propel their teams to new heights of achievement.

Using the High Achieving Leader as a leadership benchmark, we have developed a process whereby participants can learn to model the same behavioral characteristics used by top achievers.
