Be a Leader Everyone Trusts and Respects
Executives must be able to delegate with confidence. Adopting the global standards of management competence and ethics frees CEOs to build the future.
And leaders want to be trusted. Leadership is hard, but what’s better than helping people achieve great things together?
“Working with The Center created a problem: the trainees became better bosses than their supervisors.” – Multi-national executive
A Workbook Just for New and Emerging Leaders
You want to be a competent and caring leader, but you don’t really know what a leader does. You don’t want to disappoint your team or get in trouble by missing something.
The Humanist Leader shows how to develop critical thinking and supervisory skills by applying the 2017 standards for management competence and ethics.
Part I and II outline why people should—or shouldn’t—be leaders. Part III then maps the leader’s development path using plain English, simple cases, and short exercises.

What Standards Are You Managing To Today?
