THE STRIVE LEADERSHIP APPROACH.

Leadership develops from the inside out. The STRIVE Leadership Approach is built around four connected areas: Know Yourself, Lead
Yourself, Understand Others, and Lead With Others. Each area develops specific skills that help people better understand themselves, make
intentional choices, strengthen relationships, and lead effectively with others.

1
KNOW THYSELF

Build self awareness by recognizing your values, strengths, emotions, habits, and the impact you have on others.

2
Lead Yourself

Turn awareness into action by managing your energy, making intentional choices, navigating challenges, and staying accountable to your goals.

3
Understand Others

Develop empathy and curiosity so you can better understand different perspectives, experiences, needs, and ways of communicating.

4
Lead With Others

Use trust, communication, collaboration, and shared purpose to strengthen relationships and help groups move forward together.
