Great leadership is cultivated over time, and if you want to succeed in leading at a high level, you need to start by becoming an excellent contributor and follower. In this episode, Alex and Ben discuss their roadmap to leadership, from starting as an individual contributor, to growing your influence, to operating out of overflow. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by an abundance of information and resources about leadership development, take this opportunity to go back to the basics and discover a simple framework that actually works!
Information isn’t the gap between failure and success—action is. Path for Growth’s 1-on-1 coaching helps you create a plan and execute on what matters most for your business. Apply today at pathforgrowth.com/coaching.
