A strong "work ethic" is one of the hallmarks of success - or so we have been told.

No one ever achieved great things by being lazy and not "working hard". But is working hard really enough?

In addition to "hard work", are there other character patterns which lend themselves to fruitfulness?

Leaders in business and ministry are invited to join us this month for the Ultimate Leadership series and learn how to avoid the common trap of working hard, yet doing the very things which stand in the way of success!

Dr. Henry Cloud encourages leaders in business and ministry to: "Come find out why it is very possible to work hard and not create results and [learn] the ways our own character weaknesses can get in the way of achieving what is desired."

In partnership with Dr. John Townsend and Dr. Henry Cloud, CCN’s monthly Ultimate Leadership series helps leaders develop the character and skills necessary to meet the challenges of leadership.

This month, Dr. Henry Cloud, bestselling author and clinical psychologist, will help leaders understand the important distinction between working harder and working smarter.

Leaders will discover how:

• Working "smarter" is more about character than about brains.
• Effort is not necessarily the key to success.
• Specific character qualities yield fruitfulness.

Join us this month for Ultimate Leadership and learn what it really takes to become fruitful as a leader!
