And, what?s more, much of the information available on leadership today taps into dated research, making modern day leadership mastery more elusive than ever.

Sure, there in a plethora of information out there ? books, websites, etc., but finding a credible, go-to source that can be counted to bring about strong results, can be next to impossible.
