Be More Successful by Leading with Character First in The Tricycle Effect Watch Preview

In today's fast-paced, results-driven world, leadership is often defined by the numbers. Yet, a deeper dimension of leadership transcends quarterly reports and KPIs—your character. "The Tricycle Effect: How Leading with Character First Determines Your Success and Significance in Life" explores this untapped aspect of leadership, making the compelling case that your character is not just a moral attribute but a driving force behind your overall success and significance in life.

This course, based on my book The Tricycle Effect, employs the metaphor of a tricycle. The front wheel—your character—leads to significance by adding value to others. The two back wheels lead to your success by adding value to yourself. When your character wheel is strong and steers you in the right direction, it naturally propels you toward meaningful achievements, adding value to others, making a difference in the lives of others, and thereby building an enduring legacy.

Benefits:

  1. Foundational Understanding: Understand why character is the cornerstone of authentic leadership and how it influences every decision you make.

  2. Personal Growth: Engage with thought-provoking exercises and actionable advice to build a strong character foundation.

  3. Holistic Success: Learn how leading with character first doesn't just make you a better leader but a better person, partner, and community member.

  4. Higher Engagement: Discover how character-based leadership inspires loyalty, trust, and high performance among your team or organization.

  5. Long-term Impact: Grasp how character-centric leadership leaves a lasting imprint, turning your short-term wins into long-term legacies.

  6. Ethical Resilience: Develop a strong moral compass that helps you navigate ethical dilemmas and tough decisions with clarity and confidence.

  7. Life Balance: Understand how the principles of character-based leadership can extend beyond the workplace into more meaningful relationships and a fulfilling personal life.

In "The Tricycle Effect" book, you're not just reading another book on leadership; you're gaining a holistic blueprint for a life of impactful leadership and personal fulfillment. In this course, you can reflect on "Character-driven leadership" and make changes in your own life with leadership, using action steps and assignments that will help you dial in the strength of your leadership like nothing before.  Lead with your character first, and watch how it transforms your personal life, your career, and your entire life's journey toward enduring success and significance.
