Program Overview
Since leaders are responsible for “arousing, engaging and satisfying
the motives of followers” (Blanchard), they most often derail
due to “people issues” (Frankel). To lead effectively, they
must adopt an effective process “with an observable, learnable
set of practices” (Kouzes & Posner). When they coach their
team members, leaders are doing all of the above in a highly effective,
inspirational way.
