The Power of Legacy-Based Leadership
Even good leaders can be unaware of how their own choices either sabotage or amplify both their satisfaction & impact on the organization. Great ones are aware & work to optimize their impact relentlessly, with curiosity, courage & desire to grow. They don't leave it to chance.
The Legacy Intensive is for senior leaders who long to realize their dream of positively impactful leadership.
