    About this audiobook

    Read by the author.

    Wall Street Journal Bestseller

    Develop and expand your innate leadership abilities through daily exercises and challenges designed to help you grow into the leader you want to be and prepare you for the job you were made to have.

    A recent Harvard Business Review article outlining a study of over 17,000 leaders found that although, on average, people begin to supervise others at age 30, most do not start to receive formal leadership training until their forties.

    In addition to serving as a U.S. Army airborne, infantry, and ranger-qualified officer, Patrick Leddin has founded successful businesses and trained thousands of leaders. In The Five-Week Leadership Challenge, Leddin shows you how to quickly build standout leadership skills so that when the next opportunity comes along, you're the only person for the job.

    In this book, you will find:

    • 35 daily challenges designed to quickly develop standout leadership skills,
    • Leadership habits you can practice regularly that get you noticed—and promoted, based on Leddin's experience training and consulting thousands of leaders all over the world,
    • And encouragement to share your completion of the leadership challenge on social media to exponentially expand your networking opportunities, and receive bonus content and access to additional author tools.

    Don't wait for training that doesn't come until it's too late. The Five-Week Leadership Challenge is an invaluable guide to help any aspiring leader begin a daily practice of exercises and challenges designed to develop and grow your leadership ability as quickly as possible.

    Accompanying workbook-style content is available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

      Patrick Leddin has written a remarkable book to challenge anyone desiring to lead at a higher level. The 35 Day / 5 Week Challenge is broken-up into 35 daily nuggets with a life illustration and practical learning steps for you to reflect and journal as you grow. It’s a great book for groups, leaders, and teams. I plan on using this with a small group of people next year.
