Leadership is more than the acquisition of knowledge, it is the deliberate and sustained practice of the HABIT of Leadership! *Martin Lanik

“All the effective leaders I have encountered –both those I worked with and those I merely watched – knew four simple things: a leader is someone who has followers; popularity is not leadership, results are; leaders are highly visible, they set examples; leadership is not rank, privilege, titles or money, it is responsibility.” – Peter Drucker

However, We are all Human, so we must Practice!


Practice is essentially the verb of deepening and sharpening your skill set – it’s putting in repetitive processes in the attempt to break new ground.

Practice should be hard, gritty, and full of failed attempts at hitting the target.

Deliberate practice involves attention, repetition, and reflection and leads to new knowledge or skills that can later be developed into more complex knowledge and skills.
