The 7 Archetypes of Great Leadership

In this talk, Lolly draws on 3 decades of business experience and research to reveal seven archetypes of leadership that the most successful leaders, bosses, and managers embody: The Rebel, The Explorer, The Truth Teller, The Hero, The Inventor, The Navigator, and The Knight.

Each archetype’s rise is fueled by activating a distinct set of valuable traits, but these same talents hide a shadow side. When faced with challenges and uncertainty, it’s not uncommon for soaring leaders to be pulled down by the shadow side of the very traits that made them successful.

So, how do great leaders avoid the fall?

Unleash Your Greatness

What is it that makes some leaders successful, while others can’t get traction with their people, their customers, or their organizations—no matter how hard they try? Why do some people seem like they were born to lead, while others struggle to gain the loyalty and engagement of their people? Why can’t everyone in a position of leadership inspire those around them to reach higher and aspire to more?

Based on a mix of modern philosophy, psychology, and her own vast well of experience, Daskal offers a breakthrough perspective on leadership — a new system for rethinking everything you know to reveal the path to becoming the leader you truly want to be.

Are your strongest leadership qualities getting in the way of your greatness?

Why Trust Matters

The world is craving a new story about leadership and business, one that underscores the way people trust and contribute to each other. Without trust, the chances for a long-term success are diminished. Those who recognize the importance of building business and leadership foundation on trust are likely to find themselves doing what is right and what is good for stakeholders in the long run.

Do you know what difference trust makes in your business, your leadership and your life?

The Impact of Heart Based Leadership

When people are inspired to achieve a purpose greater than themselves, no challenge is too great and no impediment is too difficult – everyone is focused on common goals. People place aside their personal needs, strive for the common good, and work together as a team.

Leading from the heart cultivates knowledge, respect, and trust and fuels real leadership with a powerful vision, a unified mission, and passion about core values.

Do you listen to your heart when you lead?
