"Leadership is constantly changing, and survivors learn to change with it."

"Yesterday, natural resources defined power. Today, knowledge is power. Yesterday, leaders commanded and controlled. Today, leaders empower and coach. Yesterday, leaders were warriors. Today, they are facilitators. Yesterday, leaders directed. Today, leaders delegate.

Dr. Denis Waitley The Toastmaster, 2012

to dream more, learn more,

do more, and become

more, you are a leader”

Leadership

Leadership is the influencing process of leaders and followers to achieve

organizational objectives through change

Management is more than getting work done

through people. It is developing people through

work. If you want to improve your workforce

management, then you need to improve the way

you lead people.
