The art of following is the foundation of the Leadership Pyramid. You must be
an effective follower before ascending the other levels and moving into
more demanding roles.
Managing employees requires an understanding of the core job function of
and building credibility with those whom you manage.
Identifying your management style in this phase will allow you to change
and define the style of leadership that will ultimately fit you best.
Leading the charge into the future can be a difficult task. This phase is
a time to refine your skills and inspire people to follow you while remembering where
you started.
Sharing the vision to innovate is critical to the success of leaders in any business.
Life at the top is the culmination of your experiences through the pyramid.
