Leadership and Influence

Leadership and Influence

There is a major difference between the people who lead our world and leaders. There have been many presidents of the United States, for example, but few were real leaders. (For example, many people would identify Abraham Lincoln as one of those great leaders.) What separates the good from the great? This workshop will explore several different types of leadership theories and show participants how to get on the path of great leadership.
