Leaders Aren't Born, They're M.A.D.E. provides a practical, accessible approach to leadership, grounded in time-tested principles. Instead of reinventing the wheel, this book curates and synthesizes the most effective leadership techniques, organizing them into four essential pillars: Management, Awareness, Development, and Environment. Each pillar comes with a set of techniques, thoughtfully designed with memorable names, engaging fables, and clear descriptions that reveal the often invisible practices used by great leaders. These techniques serve as a roadmap for both personal growth and team development, making the book an invaluable resource for leaders at every stage.

What sets Leaders Aren't Born apart is its flexible, interactive format: it's not meant to be read cover to cover. Instead, it's a dynamic tool that allows you to assess your strengths and challenges as a leader and choose your own path to growth. After taking the self-assessment, you can focus on the areas where you need the most improvement, ensuring that you develop into a well-rounded leader who excels across all pillars. Whether you're a seasoned leader, just starting out, or looking to develop your team, Leaders Aren't Born, They're M.A.D.E. is your guide to becoming the leader you aspire to be.
