Part ThreeYour True North Meets the World

Parts I and II were inward-looking as you explored your leadership journey and your development as an authentic leader. In Part III, the focus shifts to the world around you. Having discovered your True North, you can now learn how to be more effective as a leader within your organization.

Leaders don't operate in a vacuum: You have to apply your leadership in real-world settings with significant challenges. The real measure of your effectiveness as a leader is your ability to use your True North to lead and empower people to have sustainable impact in solving challenging problems. This is where you realize your full potential as a leader.

By shifting your focus from yourself to serving others, you make the transformation from I to We. Then you will be prepared to discern your purpose in leading others and how it aligns with your organization's purpose. Having this clarity enables you to empower your teammates to lead around a common purpose and shared values. Finally, we examine the additional qualities you need to be an authentic global leader in today's global world.
