The Eight Practices of Quintessential Leadership

Leadership is not a position or a title; it's an observable set of skills and abilities that can be learned. After years of research that included shadowing, observing, and interviewing leaders at all levels, the PRACTICE framework was created. This framework captures eight leadership practices displayed when leaders demonstrate effective leadership. They are perseverance, respect, authenticity, coaching, tactical, inspiration, collaboration, and evolving. These practices serve as a comprehensive guide for developing and recognizing effective leadership in various contexts
