Now more than ever, our world is crying out for great leaders to help solve global issues that affect us all.  How can you answer the call and navigate these turbulent times as an exceptional leader?

According to leadership expert, Alex Ihama, it's not about position, popularity, prosperity, or even power, but rather great leadership is about purpose, passion, principles, and philanthropy - serving others vs serving yourself.  While many people intellectually know this, most leaders today still operate based on the misconceptions of leadership, and thus, countries and organizations around the world are in chaos, struggling to keep up with changing times. 

Whether you are an entrepreneur, business executive, statesman, or non-profit leader seeking to make an impact, this is a message you won't want to miss.

In today's interview with us, Alex Ihama dispels five misconceptions he has identified as present in most leaders today, and introduces us to the truth about leadership in practical and meaningful terms.  Alex further outlines the essential qualities of a leader, the 3 main laws of leadership, and why your purpose is the gateway to you optimizing your leadership capabilities. 

A wealth of wisdom and insight, you are about to learn from a leader of leaders, how to distinguish yourself as an exceptional leader and go beyond focusing on the perks of the position to the original purpose of leadership itself.
