How It Works
Leader’s Edge Development Cards contains 52 cards, each of which has a practical yet powerful action step. The accompanying guidebook provides powerful insight, descriptive examples, and helpful suggestions for each action step. At the beginning of each week, one card is randomly drawn and the rest of the week is spent learning, practicing, and achieving the chosen action step. Weekly tasks incorporate best practices that will help maximize leadership potential.
Why It Matters
Corporate leadership in today’s modern world is changing, focusing more on an egalitarian, team oriented approach to management. Building authentic relationships, empowering employees, acknowledging contributions, creating opportunities for professional development, fostering a culture of trust, and role modeling excellence are a few of the skills effective leaders exhibit. Research shows employees not only respond well to these new leadership styles, but they excel. Reduced turnover rates, increased productivity, improved employee engagement, and higher profits are just a few of the benefits of strong, modern leadership.
