Principle-Centered Leadership™ Program

Earn FranklinCovey’s highest credential, a Certificate of Mastery in Leadership, by completing four leadership courses and submitting a leadership portfolio.

What is Principle-Centered Leadership?

In essence, Principle-Centered Leadership refers to using the compass of correct principles, always pointing True North, to guide one’s life and one’s organization.

Principle-Centered Leadership is a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. In order to deal with any challenges that you’ll face in the future, you need to develop a principle-centered core within yourself. Leaders with this mindset increase quality and productivity but also experience a new appreciation of the importance of building personal and professional relationships. The result is a more balanced, rewarding, and effective life.

We’re redefining leadership.

Leadership is more than just a position. It’s about moving from formal authority to moral authority.

If “soft skills” are so soft, then why are they so critical to success? In reality, soft skills are essential career and leadership skills we all need to develop. Anyone can be a leader by intentionally leading one’s own life and encouraging greatness in others. Leadership skills can be learned and developed by anyone, enabling professionals to contribute in any environment at a high level, regardless of a managerial role or current status. This program helps leaders achieve primary greatness by developing qualities like integrity, service, responsibility, loyalty, reciprocity, and fairness.
