Leadership growth usually follows a practical pattern. First, you learn to lead yourself well. Then you learn to lead people. After that, you learn to lead teams toward stronger results.
That is the idea behind the way this site is organized.

Keep in mind, you do not have to follow the phases in order. Start with the tools that best match your current role, your biggest challenge, or the result you need most right now.
Many of the tools on this site started because I needed them in my own work and could not find practical versions at a reasonable price.
The first was a leadership assessment I created in 2002. I had recently taken an assessment at the company I worked for at the time. The personal and professional insights I gained from that first assessment were so valuable to me, but I was stunned when I learned what the company paid for each team member to take that assessment.
After researching other paid assessments, I recognized they all come with a price tag, which not everyone who aspires to learn and develop themselves can afford. In my opinion, everyone should have immediate access to quality leadership tools and resources.
The thing I enjoy most about leading people is supporting their leadership development. This has led me to create and share these valuable tools for free, to anyone who seeks to improve themselves and their team.
To help fill that need, I decided to provide quality tools for free so anyone who aspired to grow and develop their leadership skills can do so.
I share a variety of leadership tools that I have personally used in real workplace situations, then improve them over time based on experience and reader feedback. While my work experience has been instrumental in building the tools provided on this website, the site development work helped me to develop skills and insights that I've been able to apply in my professional roles.
Over the years, that process has grown into a large free library of leadership tools, templates, and resources. My goal is simple. Give leaders practical tools they can use now to make better decisions, lead with more confidence, and get better results.
