“Before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.
When you become a leader, success is all about growing others.”
—JACK WELCH
WHAT IS C.H.A.I.R. LEADERSHIP?
Founded on the famous quote from Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, author Cicely Simpson established her C.H.A.I.R Leadership program to coach leaders and executives on how to make their own way and be a people of impact in business and life. She developed the program around five strategies—one for each letter of the word C.H.A.I.R.:
Champion yourself
Honesty
Adaptability
Impact
Regrets
As you work through this book, you’ll learn how to use the C.H.A.I.R. Leadership model to help you differentiate yourself from your peers, get noticed, and say what you need to say without having regrets. As Congresswoman Chisholm says, “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
