Leadership Development

THE FIVE SEEDS® of Effective Leadership

Leaders are the “make or break” point of any organization, and while some believe that great leaders are born, we believe that the thought and behavioral patterns of extraordinary leadership can be cultivated.

Based on THE FIVE SEEDS® Model, which encompasses four decades of research, observation and experience working with numerous successful leaders and organizations, Glenn Furuya, founder and CEO of Leadership Works, has converted his findings into a world-class, six-week leadership experience.
