How was the research conducted?

The 7 strategies we highlight in the book emerged from a synthesis of three different “pools of insight”:

​

1. leadership literature

2. reflections on our personal leadership experiences

3. special research projects developed for this book

Numerous ideas worthy of discussion flowed from the pools of insight. We then filtered out the redundant and inconsequential, channeling the remaining into 7 essential insights that form the basis for the second section of Progress Makers. You can find more specific information about the background research, special projects, and research tools in the scholars section.

Progress should be at the center of any discussion of leadership. Aren’t leaders supposed to make progress? Yet relatively few leadership experts devote much attention to the issue.

Self tests can be found in the student section.
