It's a fairly simple truth: a good leader is a growing leader.

Strong leadership emerges from persons who are deeply committed to their own emotional, spiritual, personal and professional growth. Without this quality, both leader and leadership stagnates.

However, it's definitely not as simple as it sounds. Leaders in both ministry and business arenas often have difficulty finding the time, energy and resources to pay attention to fostering their own growth. Once they do, it can be equally hard to evaluate whether they are on the right track.

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 these challenges of leadership.

This month, Dr. Henry Cloud lays out a practical and doable solution in A Growth Path for Leaders.

You and your leadership team will learn how to set your own personal growth plan into motion while discovering:

• Key ingredients which facilitate growth
• Core issues which all leaders must confront and resolve

Gather your leadership team for Ultimate Leadership and create a plan to keep on growing!
