Power Score: Your Formula for Leadership Success

Randy shares what all successful leaders do to succeed. Based on the largest leadership database of its kind and brought to life through entertaining stories and examples, Randy highlights how great leaders set the right priorities, pair those priorities with the right people (“who”) and create an environment where relationships can work. Priorities. Who. Relationships. Putting them together enables the world’s best leaders to run their team at full PWR (pronounced “power”).

Twenty years of research and consulting, deep analysis of over 15,000 leaders, and field interviews with hundreds of billionaires, CEOs, and successful investors all tell us that leaders who practice these three disciplines are 20x more likely to succeed than those who do none of them. 20x! No other leadership approach is this simple yet this powerful. Attendees come away from this experience able to maximize their team’s results, their company’s financial performance, and their own career success.
