The leadership domain is conducted within human-centric environments, therefore success is always tied to the human.

The greater focus you spend on the “tools” that you have and the way you “forge” your relationships and presence, the stronger the others become. This movement will showcase that in order to make yourself better, there is a mutual benefit to making others better through mentorship, followership, and leading.

George Clifton, CEO of Gallup states: "The American leadership philosophy simply doesn't work anymore". The solution, based on his research with leading healthcare organizations, the U.S. Army, multiple national Baldridge Quality Award winners, elite manufacturing organizations, an NFL Superbowl Champion, and award-winning educational institutions, is understanding that leadership can be a designed organizational system which can radically engage the entire workforce around core values, engage them in mission, and capture their basic human capacity for creativity and innovation. The author of two books on organizational transformation, his recent book, "The Genetics of Leadership: Cracking the Code of Sustainable Excellence", provides case studies and results of personal interviews with experts such as General Barry McCaffrey, 4-star general and Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy for President Clinton. This research demonstrates organizations with a long-term track record of successful design systems of leadership with a unique leadership DNA and then trains every leader to its requirements. Based on a foundation of classical systems design, it represents the first major innovation in leadership since Henry Ford started rolling Model Ts off his assembly line. He is certified as a Lean Practitioner, Balanced Scorecard design, Strategic Planning, group facilitation, and Project Management. In addition, he is a senior examiner for the Baldrige Quality Award.
