More Details
Authority is not a prerequisite for leadership. Too many people spend their lives waiting for the authority to lead, missing out on opportunities they will never get back. The truth is: great leaders don’t wait to be in charge to begin leading.
Author and pastor Clay Scroggins explains what is needed to be a great leader—even when you answer to someone else. In this course, you will discover:
- The common identity traps that snag leaders
- How to approach ambition in healthy ways
- What you can learn from a less-than-stellar boss
- How to deal with a dead-end job—do you stay or do you go?
Clay shows leaders the importance of healthy self-leadership, how to choose positivity and think critically, and why great leaders must reject passivity.
Whether you’re just getting started on your leadership journey or you’ve been at it for years, you’ll see why you don’t have to wait for a new title or promotion to start making a difference.
This course will show you how to lead right where you are—right now.
