ABSTRACT
One of the major reasons success eludes us is that we are constantly searching for it outside. Having coached numerous business owners and corporate executives, the author realized that there is only one reason why a person succeeds. It is because of the inner leader. It is the single most important element that can take our life on a downward spiral or towards growth and progress. Most of us forget that whatever the condition of the inner leader, it will go with us. The true test of our inner leader comes during times of challenge or happiness. It is when we are very happy or excited that we over-promise and regret it later. In this chapter, the author shares the story of, Emily, one of his clients. The progressive leadership cycle is where most of us need to make a shift to. Conditioning the inner leader is the first step in our journey to leadership and success.
