Many leaders begin well but few end well. This is because there are forces at work in the very process of becoming a leader and in exercising that leadership that, if not addressed, will eventually cause that leader to derail. One of the essential skills for addressing these destructive forces is the ability to lead oneself into periods of personal and professional renewal. This presentation outlines the steps toward developing that ability.
