First clarify: This app enables you clarify your understanding of the 5 Practices of exemplary leadership by watching video clips of  Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner describing the 5 Practices.

Second, try it out: The app will allow you to set yourself reminders for the specific leadership behaviours you want to get better at using e-mail, your calendar or simply writing yourself a note!

Finally, seek feedback & learn: Now that you are practicing better leadership you can use the app to request feedback to check that the people you need to lead are observing the behavioural changes you want to make.

It’s a very useful tool! A bit like having an electronic leadership coach in your pocket. Check it out at the iTune store by clicking on the app icon.

Once you have tried it out please come back and let us know how you are getting on with it, how to get the best out of the app and what improvements you would like to see in the next version.
