THE FIVE-WEEK LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE​

By Patrick Leddin ​

Develop and expand your innate leadership abilities through daily exercises and challenges designed to help you grow into the leader you want to be and prepare you for the job you were made to have. A recent Harvard Business Review article outlined a study of over 17,000 leaders that found people begin, on average, to supervise others at age 30, yet most do not start to receive formal leadership training until their forties.

The Five-Week Leadership Challenge is an invaluable guide to help any aspiring leader begin a daily practice of exercises and challenges designed to develop and expand their innate leadership ability as quickly as possible.
