Gold Package – The Captain’s Challenge

A leader isn’t someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.”

Beth Revis

Are you the captain or coach of your team?

Do you want to be…

Would you like to excel as a leader of your team?

Do you know how…

How would you like to develop the skills to become the best possible leader you could be?

We believe everyone is born a leader, we simply have different leadership styles. Yes, we can model from others, however trying to model from someone with different qualities, skills and talents can often be ineffective.

How do we become better leaders?

Or, how do we find the best model to learn from?

In the sporting world, leadership is an expectation of the captains, coaches, and management (perhaps an extended leadership group), but how do we select the best people for these roles? And when selected, how do we improve their leadership skills?

We have developed a leadership program to unearth an individuals leadership style to best enable them to lead. As one and as a team.

Leadership styles can be determined by one’s individual talents. Their natural patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. Simply put, how you think, feel and behave.

Using the Clifton StrengthsFinder® profiling tool, we identify an athlete or coaches unique combination of raw talents. So unique, there is a one in 33 million chance of someone having the same combination of talents. Knowing these talents allows us to categorize their individual leadership style and best develop their talents into leadership strengths.

The leadership style of each individual will fall under one or a combination of four different categories. Keeping in mind no single style is better, stronger or more dominant. Excellence comes from the individual’s ability to maximize their own individual style and develop it into a powerful force.

We obtain all qualities below, however, we resonate more with some over others. We find it simpler to lead using our strongest styles, when we are in flow,  when we’re energized, when all seems to be going fluently, we’re maximizing our leadership. Which qualities best align with you?
