It's time for leadership wisdom that works

Master Behaviors of Exceptional Leaders

Serious Leaders Deserve Elite Insights

The best leaders are always on the hunt. Never satisfied. They know there’s always a gap between the leader they are and the leader they could be. That gap is where the real work happens.

The world is in profound need of leaders like this. Leaders truly committed to making people and situations better.

Admired Leadership reveals the habits, routines, and behaviors of the very best leaders.

Here’s what leaders are missing:

Proven Behaviors

Clear Steps
to Excellence

Deep Dialogue
& Connection

Frameworks and Principles Are Not Enough

Experienced leaders can’t imagine there is wisdom out there that they haven’t already heard. And they’re tired of the regular claptrap:

Conflicting frameworks
Values jargon
Psychological gymnastics
Tips, hacks, and cliches
Pompous gurus

Foundational Video 1

A Behavioral View of Excellence

The psychological view of leadership often looks at the differences and how to lead in different scenarios. Instead, the behavioral approach of leadership asks a question that is much simpler. What behaviors do the most Admired Leaders have in common?

Foundational Video 2

On Being an Authentic Leader

The best leaders lead everywhere in life. They are who they are at work, at home, in their community, with their kids and with their colleagues. Too many leaders have an on and off switch and act differently around each of their team members and within different communities. This module discusses authenticity and why we believe that authentic leadership is what you do consistently.

Foundational Video 3

The Difference Between Technique and Routine

Admired Leadership shows that excellence has routines. A technique is something that you do in order to get an effect for a situation, whereas a routine becomes a habit and is something that you incorporate into your style all the time. In this video, we’ll discuss why it is important to incorporate the Admired Leadership behaviors into your routines.
