Leadership Model 

From the very beginning, ILA has been using the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® as its process model for leadership development.  Developed by noted researchers and award-winning authors, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner, this model has continued to prove itself day by day, year after year, in organization after organization.  For more information about it, we highly recommend you read The Leadership Challenge, in which Jim and Barry detail the powerful lessons brought forth in this model.  If you want to learn how to become an extraordinary leader using this process, find out more about The Leadership Challenge® Workshop , which is ILA's premier leadership development program.
