Four Ways to Intentionally Develop Your Leadership Abilities
By Ron Price, President TTI
From Episode 59 of The Complete Leader Podcast
After all of the years that I’ve worked in leadership, there is one question that resurfaces again and again: Are leaders born or made?
While you can’t ignore that everyone is born with certain traits that will affect leadership abilities, this is not the end of the journey. Part of the challenge as leaders is to understand what those traits are and how to further develop them.
This is why I truly believe that leaders are both born and made.
Reflections to Prepare for a Successful 2022
By Ron Price, TCL Founder
As you begin the New Year and consider the possibility that a new year offers, this is a great opportunity to take some time to reflect on your influence in both your career and your personal life. Reflection can be a powerful tool in guiding your direction and intention for the year. Here are a few aspects to consider and questions to ask yourself:

Persuasion: How Leaders Can Inspire Commitment in Their Teams
By Ron Price
From Episode 72 of The Complete Leader Podcast
Of all the skills in the Complete Leader skillset library, persuasion is one that never elicits a neutral response. People either love the idea of it or are repulsed by it, often because of the negative connotation of the word.

That’s why when I begin coaching someone new, I always say, “You know, 90% of the success we’re going to have working together is credited to you. I only get 10%.

The Magic of Working with Others
How to foster teamwork skills
By Ron Price
From Episode 77 of The Complete Leader Podcast
We all love to root for and celebrate winning teams—but how exactly do we create one?
Skip Hall, an old friend and NCAA football coach, once told me that on average players only get 11 to 20 minutes of play per game. That’s it! They’ll commit 20 hours of practice and preparation per week just for this short amount of time on the field. For a successful team, that time can pay off in wins and championships.
