Our Philosophy
The Courageous Personal Leadership Model
The M.A.D.E. To Lead team created the Courageous Personal Leadership model to focus on critical behaviors that individuals at all levels can demonstrate to lead with more influence and impact. The Courageous Personal Leadership model consists of Four Principles: Manage your internal environment (self-awareness), Ask for what you need (leadership voice + courageous communication), Decide to take risks (decision-making + risk-taking), and Embody your personal mission, vision, and values (authenticity + purpose).
Rooted in research and real-world experiences, the Courageous Personal Leadership model is practical, applicable, and easy to integrate across positions, levels, and industries. It works in the everyday leadership moments we experience and is as effective in the bigger leadership challenges we wrestle with over time. The Four Principles are the heart of the Courageous Personal Leadership model, and serve as the foundation for our coaching, speaking and training philosophies.
Research is clear that when people are effective in demonstrating the skills represented by the Four Principles of Courageous Personal Leadership, they are more confident, creative, and productive. In addition, they make better decisions, communicate more effectively, are stronger relationship builders, take more risks, garner more active support for their ideas, and have better personal well-being.
The M.A.D.E. To Lead team defines the Four Principles of Courageous Personal Leadership as the ability to effectively Manage your internal environment, Ask for what you need, Decide to take risks, and Embody your personal mission, vision and values. These principles are the heart of the Courageous Personal Leadership model, and serve as the foundation for our coaching, speaking and training philosophies.
