Behavior is the visible evidence of identity. It is what gets repeated, what gets observed, and what gets copied. Guide Don't Drive replaces driving behaviors (rescuing, controlling, escalating) with guiding behaviors (clarifying, reinforcing, developing ownership).
This program reinforces the Guide, Don't Drive™ Leadership Operating System.
