THE MEASURE
OF A LEADER
Their actions are a
reflection of your
leadership.

Measure of a Leader, Daniels & Daniels, McGraw-Hill (2006) 2012
WHAT DOES ‘BETTER’ LOOK LIKE?
The five CORE* agreements are:	

	

 1.	

As Is — People must agree on the current
situation as it really is. 	

	

 2.	

Environment — People must agree on
what’s happening around them, which
they’re unable to affect, but which will
affect them. 	

	

 3.	

STAKE — People must agree on what’s at
stake if they stay where they are and don’t
change. 	

	

 4.	

To Be — People must agree on a cogent
vision of the future they desire. 	

	

 5.	

Strategy —Finally, people must agree on
how to break out of the As Is and chart an
irreversible course toward the To Be.
