THE FOUR QUADRANTS OF LEADERSHIP
-
PURPOSE
PASSION
PERSUASION
PERSISTENCE
If your heart is clear on purpose, filled with passion, thoroughly persuaded, and resilient in persistence there’s no mountain you won’t stand on.
-
STRATEGY
STRUCTURE
SYSTEMS
SQUAD
The highest use of the leader is their head. In today’s hustle economy, thinking is often underrated and overshadowed by doing.
It’s important that leaders who want to succeed and scale their enterprise are thinkers who employ strategy, create structure, define systems as well as attract and build highly effective teams.
-
DEVELOPMENT
DISCIPLINES
MENTORSHIP
The growth of the leader’s enterprise is predicated by the growth of the leader. Whether companies evolve or dissolve, scale or become stale is determined by the leader’s level of commitment to personal growth and to constantly sharpen their skills.
-
EXECUTION
EVALUATING SYSTEMS
EFFORT VS. IMPACT
END GAME
Successful enterprises are defined and deemed credible, not by their vision or intention but by their impact. The power of impact sets a leader or organization apart from the crowd, silences critics, and attracts top talent, resources and fruitful partnerships.
THE CALLED’s resources focus on developing our leadership community in these four quadrants. Our two-day intensive offers a laser-focused and detailed exploration of each one.
