The 4 Virtues of a Leader 

A leader inspires us with their energy, presence, commitment, and ability to make a difference. But where but does their success arise from? Is it innate gifts, or qualities that we all can develop? “Each of us, no matter what our title or job, can become an engaging and inspiring leader by cultivating the same essential virtues found in the classic hero’s journey,” says Eric Kaufmann.

Leadership, like the hero’s journey, starts at the edge of your comfort zone. Your particular path to achievement takes you away from the know and familiar, requires service to community, and brings about uncertainty and change. Uncertainty triggers anxiety; it's also the opening to growth, innovation, and evolution.

With The Four Virtues of a Leader, Eric shares powerful strategies for developing the fundamental competencies every leader must possess:
  • Awareness that ignites confidence and vision
  • Courage to move toward uncertainty and risk
  • Discipline to persevere through discouragement and challenge
  • Humility to stay in service and commitment to your people
This is a program for leaders who are seekers; for those who choose to explore the unknown, accelerate results, and unfold their authentic selves.

Key takeaways:
  • Apply a four step process to managing ambiguity and anxiety.
  • Develop a plan for addressing fear in leadership.
  • Analyze and minimize the barriers to addressing uncertainty in leadership.
  • Leverage resilience, courage, discipline, and perspective to produce both powerful and empowering results.
  • Deepen the ability to develop leadership skills that people want to follow.
