Far too many leaders rely on power, authority or intelligence as the foundation of their leadership. They lead more from the outside in than from the inside out. Gallup research asserts that one of the world's most serious problems - declining global productivity and human development - can be fixed not by politics and policies, but by effective, inspiring and transformational leaders. At CORE Leaders International, we believe that personal mastery, developing your character and the core of who you are, is at the heart of all leadership that is truly effective, inspiring and transformational. When organisations and leaders have power and authority without a strong and healthy core they cause so much damage to people around them and to our world. That is why we are passionate about providing seasoned and emerging leaders with personal leadership growth and development solutions. Our vision is to play our part in building a growing international community of leaders devoted to personal mastery, transformed lives, and a better world. We call them - CORE Leaders. CORE Leaders not only become more engaging and transformational leaders, but better husbands, wives, dads, mums, friends, sons, and daughters.
