Mark Miller provides ideas about how personal development is also leadership development. Leaders who continue to grow personally, continue to improve as their influence and effectiveness as leaders. On the other hand, leaders who fail to grow lose their influence, and eventually their leadership roles as well. Leaders can decide to grow, and Mark Miller shares the process with the GROW leadership development principles.
