Every leadership journey starts with self. Self-awareness is vital for gaining influence. Knowing your tendencies, interactions, and default behaviors provides valuable insight to better function on a daily basis. Locating where you are is a crucial first step.

Now that you know where you are, you can decide where you want to go. This critical step identifies barriers, challenges, and obstacles you might encounter. This allows you to create a comprehensive plan that ensures you arrive at your desired destination.

Along the journey you will face anticipated and unforeseen challenges. Your team's success is based on the individual abilities of the collective group and how they interact. You must prepare and equip your team with the skills necessary to achieve the best results.
