Many believe that a leadership crisis is looming. We look around us and find people occupying positions of leadership but demonstrating no qualities of a leader. We have been lied to about leadership. The lies come from home, school, church and work. The first and most predominant lie grows in intensity as we age. Eventually, other lies are added to it and the problem begins to snowball. It perpetuates a cycle: We hear the lies, digest the lies, believe the lies, tell the lies to others and then live the lies. The consequences are profound. Entire generations, people groups, races, orientations and genders have been marginalized, ostracized or barred from leading. The leadership vacuum is immense and growing, and the future-if not altered-is grim. What if there were an alternative? A solution for the "real problem?" What if an entire group of people could look past the lies, see the truth and become the leaders they were meant to be? The Leadership Lie looks past the symptoms to the reality of what it means to become a leader. There are 5 majors lies we are told. There are 5 severe consequences to these lies. And there are 5 truths that can not only change our lives but the world in which we live. Trevor J. Bron is a leading expert on building leaders for the modern age. He's worked with CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs and companies both big and small as a mentor, coach, guide and facilitator. Find him at www.trevorbron.com
