The 12-Steps were originally created in 1935 as part of the program, Alcoholics Anonymous. The basis of this blueprint for living was designed to help those living with alcoholism not only abstain from drinking but also help them to develop better relationships through self-assessment, admission of wrongs done to others and ultimately improving one’s connection with a Higher Power as well as “carrying the message” to others who may suffer from a similar malady.
There are many parallels that can be drawn from the principles found in the 12 Steps and those utilized in the world of leadership. While these themes are spiritual in nature, they are also universal. Honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness are but a few of the principles that can be applied to the decision leaders make.
Leadership Through the Lens of the 12 Steps is a workbook that can be used by the reader as a means of self-exploration and professional development. It is written for executives, managers, and anyone who wants to grow professionally. Not only does it provide an explanation of the correlation between the principles found in recovery programs and leadership, it also includes questions that are designed for the reader or to be guided with the assistance of a coach or mentor as well.
Leadership Through the Lens of the 12 Steps takes a unique approach to the concept of leadership development. It is guaranteed to provide the reader with the tools they need to work towards the potential they have and become the leader they aspire to be.

Faith: This is an important part of triumphing over adversity. When you are in a difficult place, remember that there is a Presence that is supporting and guiding you. There is also the concept of having faith in oneself which helps to promote self-confidence and positive self-esteem.
