DESCRIPTION

What 4 words best describe you as a leader? Would your colleagues, friends and family use the same 4 words to describe you? What are the words you want to avoid? Are you a leader in the 5 most important areas of your life? I love giving this PPT presentation because so many people want to be great leaders but they need some help in pointing them in the right direction. If you like this PPT, you should also check out the two blog posts I wrote, based on my work here. They can be found on www.openforum.com. Search my name (Brian Moran). The posts are titled "4 Traits to Becoming a Great Leader" and "Have You Mastered These 5 Levels of Leadership?" Amex also created an infographic of the two posts "Building Leadership Skills From the Ground Up." I hope you find the PPT useful. If you want to discuss it or have any questions, you can reach out to me on Twitter. My handle is @BrianMoran. Thanks!
