Our curriculum integrates learnings from decades of research and leadership experience. For those who would like to explore some of resource material in greater detail, we've linked a number of them on this page.
Our own ALJ Guide community reads as a significant part of our learning (#ReadersAreLeaders, after all) and we gather to discuss new and existing research, related works, and to discuss how we might apply takeaways to our own leadership journeys and to enhance our work with other leaders.
Several of our
Relearning Leadership podcast guests have also written books and a number of those are featured here as well.
