Find out how you can become a more effective leader and make your company more successful and significant! Detailed Description:We hear about leadership quite often, and even how important leadership is in all facets of our lives. However, most people don’t study leadership and even more, most people likely don’t practice or work on their character skills or their leadership skills. I love Dr. John C. Maxwell’s definition of leadership, “leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less.” In today’s society we have moved from what Dr. Stephen Covey called the “Character Ethic” to what he called the “Personality Ethic.” Dr. Covey encouraged us as leaders to get back to The Character Ethic. During this episode of The Ararat Connection, we will joined by our Guest Andrea Olson. Andrea is the author of “No Disruptions: The New Future for Mid-Market Manufacturing.” Together, Dane and Andrea will be exploring the definition of real leadership as well as why leaders need to lead by example with Character First to be an effective leader in shaping their personal, family and corporate lives.
