Leadership is about more than a title, rank, or location on the organization chart. Each of
us has opportunities to lead every day in a variety of settings, situations, or
circumstances. How we choose to navigate those opportunities depends on the
confidence we have in our skills and our willingness to practice them. Learn skills you can
use and become more inspired to practice them to be the leader our communities,
organizations, and workplaces need.
