The Five Paths to Leadership® is a proven model that helps individuals and teams understand their leadership strengths — and how to apply them more effectively.
Unlike other leadership models that assign you a single style, Five Paths measures your ease of access to five intuitive leadership styles:
Critical Thinker, Relator, Visionary, Warrior, and Sage — and shows how your style shifts under stress.
With this knowledge, you can strengthen collaboration, lead with greater confidence, and help your teams thrive in a changing world.
Designed for Leaders at Every Level
Whether you're leading a small team, a department, a college, or an entire institution, the Five Paths to Leadership® framework meets you where you are.
Its insights are relevant for new supervisors, experienced chairs and deans, senior administrators, and campus-wide leadership teams.
