Leadership is built not born, and it is not built in a vacuum.
Great leaders are most powerfully created on the way toward a great
endeavor, or in the face of a great challenge. The Brink is a
leadership model that uses climbing a mountain as a metaphor for that
challenge, and is a guide to creating and fostering that endeavor into
reality for you and your leadership.
Leadership is not built in comfortable, settled, and unchallenged
people. There is nothing for it to feed and grow on in that emptiness.
There is no reason or urgency to lead in the absence of a great
challenge. Whether you have your own great challenge already or not,
The Brink is the environment and the pathway to create and nurture
that challenge in service of your leadership on purpose.
On The Brink, you do not have to know "how" in order to start building
leadership. You only need to know that you want to and are willing. This
choice takes courage, and the rewards are dynamic and limitless-for you
and the world around you that needs your leadership.
The Brink speaks to you as an individual willing to take on your own
leadership, guiding you to use your own great challenge as the stone
upon which your leadership will be sharpened. You will be confronted and
forever changed along the way, in some places that are familiar and many
that are completely new to you.
Designed for the executive, the entrepreneur, the dreamer, and the
action junkie, The Brink is a revelatory philosophy of leadership
distilled into clearly actionable steps. Leadership is invented and
honed on the brink, and you will be changed forever by walking this path
to leadership.
Remember, anyone can be a leader. Not everyone chooses to.
The world needs you to be a leader. There are so many reasons not to,
and a few very good reasons to lead that you cannot afford to ignore any
longer.
