Abstract
Leadership—whether as a parent, healthcare provider, soldier, or business executive—requires intentional effort to master its art and science. Just as we would not expect a physician or a soldier to learn their craft entirely “on the job,” we should not expect leaders to develop their leadership skills the same way. Society demands years of preparation for physicians and soldiers before they assume their professional responsibilities. However, when it comes to leadership, we often accept that individuals take on leadership roles with neither formal leadership training nor the “education of experience,” despite the profound and life-changing consequences of good and bad leadership.
