The 108 Skills of Natural Born Leaders
Some people appear to be "natural born leaders." But are they literally born that way? Or have they been taught, coached, rewarded, and reinforced in ways that enable them to be leaders?

In The 108 Skills of Natural Born Leaders, you'll learn that no one is born a leader. But everyone has the natural born capacity to lead. We label people "natural born leaders" because they consistently and frequently model qualities that inspire others to commit to their direction.

You will learn:

  • Foundation skills, including self-awareness and the ability to establish rapport.
