Culture" and true accountability, and details a step-by-step process for giving effective, high-stakes feedback.As a workbook, it includes numerous self-reflection questions, planning worksheets, and the "Leadership Stargazing Guides" for team assessment. The program culminates in the "HIMP™ Project," where leaders apply these principles to a real-world challenge, and a 'Personal Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Plan' to ensure the learning continues. Mastering Leadership is a practical guide for building resilient teams, driving accountability, and creating a sustainable culture of excellence. Read more
