Recent research has now proven that self-aware people are more successful, are more confident, build better relationships and are more respected and effective leaders.

According to today’s guest and expert, Dr. Lance Secretan, much of what we do in organizations and leadership is broken. He outlines this in his new book, The Bellwether Effect: Stop Following, Start Inspiring! Lance suggests many of today’s management practices, like performance reviews, are ineffective, even destructive, and are done only because individuals are following “group think.” Lance and I have been on stage together when he won the award as the number-one global provider of leadership development (CRG came in third) at the LEAD 500 Awards. Lance also teaches leaders to embrace breakthrough thinking. One way he does that is by taking intermediate skiers and having them ski double black diamond runs within 24 hours. Yep, that’s right: Go from average to extraordinary in a day! Find out more about Lance and his amazing work or order his new book at www.secretan.com.
