The need for effective and high-performance leaders has intensified as the business world has changed and evolved through increased global competition, constant innovation, lightning-fast communication capabilities, and ever-changing technologies. Businesses must develop influential leaders to become genuinely empowered, productive, and innovative enterprises. The organization of the future is one where everyone is a leader. It is only when people can lead themselves effectively that they are empowered to be creative and innovative … and to achieve the highest level of performance. This means leadership abilities must be developed in every team member. This is the foundation of The Total Leader Concept.
