Leadership…is it luck?

Leadership…is it by luck that you are a good leader? 

We will be meeting on Tuesday, March 16th, the day before St. Patrick’s Day! It is often said that you are lucky if you can be a good leader. I would suggest that luck has very little to do with it.  Sure some people may claim to be born leaders; however, if you lead and no one follows are you a leader?

We will be discussing the qualities of great leaders and why and how we should be carrying those traits into our daily lives.  We will define when and where we should be leaders and how to walk through the fear many us often have regarding leadership.

One of the tools we will learn is how to have a Crucial Conversation*.  Patrice McGuire from McGuire Business Partners will walk us through the art and techniques of having a Crucial Conversation as outlined in the book of the same title.


It is not so much luck that creates great leaders, but desire, passion, determination and hard work.  Becoming a great leader is one of the toughest jobs there is. To learn more, join us for our March session.  To reserve a spot call Toni Yates at the Community Chamber 262 251 2430.
