Energy Leadership™

SRSD's approach is grounded in the concept of Energy Leadership™, a framework pioneered by Bruce D. Schneider. Energy Leadership™ revolves around two fundamental energies: Anabolic, which fuels motivation and inspiration, and Catabolic, which acts as an impediment, fostering discouragement. Through understanding the concept of Energy Leadership™ leaders can become more effective by enhancing self-awareness, developing strategies to make more impactful decisions, and sharpen their leadership skills.
