I am privileged this week to spend four days in training with author Steve Farber. His Extreme Leadership Certification program explores the four principles of LEAP (have you read The Radical Leap yet?) and how to apply them to both personal and professional leadership challenges:
- cultivating Love
- generating Energy
- inspiring Audacity
- providing Proof
I’m looking forward to opportunities to share more with emerging leaders in the near future. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite quotes from Steve’s books:
Think of it like this: If the only reason you’re avoiding taking on a challenge is because the idea scares you, then that’s the reason to take it on. –The Radical Leap
This is how you stoke the fires of your success: by doing what you love in the service of people you love, who in turn, love what you do for them. –The Radical Edge
Real leadership, in other words, is an extreme act rooted in love and motivated by a desire to create a better world – whether it’s the world of your company, team, neighborhood, or family. Simply put, real leadership is Extreme Leadership. –Greater Than Yourself
The basic paradoxical truth of GTY is that truly great leaders in life…become so because they cause others to be greater than themselves. –Greater Than Yourself
