The Trilateral Leadership Ledger

Happy New Year!

We hope you had some enjoyable time off over the Christmas and New Years holidays.  Additionally, we hope that you had time to do some personal reflection and are getting your goals and personal development plan put together for 2012.  We all, likely, have heard the Bible verse Proverbs 29:18:  “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”  Studies have shown time and time again that those with goals are far more successful than those without.

Today, I want to share a great CD that I recently received off the Launching a Leadership Revolution (LLR) series. In it, Chris Brady discusses The Trilateral Leadership Ledger which Orrin Woodward, co-author, and he talk about in Chapter 4 of their New York Times bestseller, Launching a Leadership Revolution.

The Trilateral Leadership Ledger is a measurement of leadership effectiveness and is made up of three key elements of leadership:  Character, Task, and Relationship.  In the book, Chris and Orrin give leaders the opportunity to assess their current effectiveness by rating themselves and allow others to provide feedback in these key elements.  This 3 min video, gives a great overview:

LLR: 6 – The Tri Lateral Leadership Ledger

So, how do you think you’re doing in the areas of Character, Task, and Relationships? What would others say?  Chances are, you can relate to doing fairly well in one of these areas and not so well in one of the other areas.

So, what are you doing to grow your leadership effectiveness? As we all know, growth is not optional (reference “You’re Either Growing or Dying).  I mentioned a CD off of the LLR series above.  The LLR series is a systematized process for leadership development which is in the form of CDs, books, and seminars.  With a reasonably priced monthly subscription, leaders receive four CDs and a book of the month with exceptional content.  This content comes from many of the Top 30 Leadership Gurus, as well as other great leaders, and will challenge you and your teams to elevate your leadership effectiveness.  To see firsthand testimonials as to how this, as well as other LIFE subscriptions, are impacting peoples lives, click here.  Additionally, contact us to learn more about  LIFE’s Leadership Challenge & no-risk guarantee.

Whether it be through a LIFE subscription or other means, we truly hope that you are committed to a personal development plan in 2012.  Our primary purpose is to aid others in their development while growing daily ourselves.  Do you need help preparing your 2012 plan?  We’d honor an opportunity to assist.

Have a FANTASTIC day!
