Has Your Leadership Team Lost Its Compass? Are You Ready to Get It Back on Course?
Every company, business, or organization needs a strong foundation. One that is based on character who the leader is when no one is looking: one who uses a compass-based leadership style. Without it, the organization will fail.
Within Leadership Foundations, authors Olin Oedekoven, Deborah Robbins, John Lavrenz, Howard Dillon and Rodney Warne identify and illustrate the essential component of what compass-based leadership is: individuals who demonstrate a clear purpose and maintain their course to achieve its purpose regardless of the changing moods, opinions and pressures of others.
Do you know that positive conflict can stimulate positive change and that you can move employee resistance to employee support and enthusiasm?

Or you can choose to identify your vision, keep focused, and stay on course no matter what others encourage you to do instead.
Continual shifts in political, economic and social structures will redefine how leaders need to lead. Are you ready?
