Greater Than Yourself: 3 Steps to Attaining the New Gold Standard of Leadership
The truly great leaders in life and work become so by causing others to be greater than themselves.

You will be challenged to aspire to the new gold standard in leadership with a powerful, three-step method:

• Expand Yourself – you’ll discover tools to deepen and expand your personal capabilities—the raw material for true leadership.
• Give Yourself – you’ll learn the art of ‘philanthropizing’ your leadership approach—the raw material for developing capacity in others.
• Replicate Yourself – you’ll experience the power of expanding beyond your personal, one-to-one influence—the raw material for changing your organization for the better.
