The ability to create a high-performance culture, motivate employees to respond to conflicting demands, and to continually strive to “do more with less” can often be a daunting task.

There is no greater challenge than leading others. The failure of most leadership training is that is simply provides a long list of attributes that one must attain to in order to be successful. The ability to create a high-performance culture, motivate people to excel, and impart to them the skills and tools to provide direction is a daunting task.
