Leadership training is not an event---where you learn how to be an effective leader in a classroom or workshop. Leadership development is self-development.
Leadership skills are developed on-the-job through having interactive conversations that pull people toward becoming comfortable with the language of personal responsibility and commitment. Working with a mentor or coach can help an emerging leader's perceptions to evolve over time. As the leader's perceptions evolve, he or she becomes more self-aware and understanding of the dynamics of human behavior.
Albert Einstein once said, "We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles but no personality. It cannot lead; it can only serve." Leaders know and science has discovered emotionality's deeper purpose: the timeworn mechanisms of emotion allow two human beings to receive the contents of each other's minds.
