Michigan Model of Leadership Growth Hub

Create a leadership growth Plan

Leadership is a skill anyone can learn. Contrary to the popular beliefs that leadership is purely innate or requires decades of experience to learn, research shows that leadership is a skillset anyone can rapidly improve with evidence-based tips, practice, feedback, and coaching. The Michigan Model of Leadership (MMoL) Growth Hub is your one-stop shop for the intention setting, practice, and reflection needed to upskill your leadership capacity.

Our Hub helps you chart an intentional growth plan tailored to your goals. Use this Hub to plan micro-moves to practice new skills, collect feedback to assess your progress, and identify your next steps. You'll walk away with a downloadable MMoL Growth Plan to guide your day-to-day development over the coming months. We encourage you to return, create new plans, and make intentional leadership growth a continuous practice.
