Leadership Practice
Leadership Practice helps leaders strengthen how they create vision, build alignment, and drive execution. Participants examine their own approach, work through a real organizational challenge, and test adjustments between sessions.
Built on Everything DiSC® Work of Leaders
What we cover
Leadership Practice explores how you shape a direction, build commitment to it, and help people carry it through. Each area includes three practices to examine and strengthen.
Imagine what could be possible and develop a direction that creates value for your group or organization.
Help people understand the direction, contribute their perspectives, and commit to the work ahead.
Support the progress, planning, and feedback needed to turn the vision into reality.
Using Everything DiSC® Work of Leaders, participants reflect on their approach in each area and identify adjustments to apply in their own leadership work.
How leaders practice
Use video examples, profile reflection, and discussion to examine how you lead. Apply what you learn to a real organizational challenge and build a practical plan for improvement.
Watch a Work of Leaders video example, then consider the leader’s approach and the group’s response.
In the alignment module, participants compare ineffective and adapted approaches to clarity, dialogue, and inspiration. They discuss what changed and how those behaviors apply to their own leadership.
Your Everything DiSC® Work of Leaders profile supports reflection. Everyone can practice these behaviors; some may take more energy than others, and different situations call for different approaches.
Participants use idea-generation activities, video examples, and discussion to examine these practices in their own roles.
Video comparisons, a structure activity, and a feedback case study help participants consider what works and what they could do differently.
In Russo Leadership’s two-session format, participants test adjustments in their own context and return to refine their approach.
Bring a real organizational example. Use the program to examine your approach, test an adjustment, and refine how you lead the work.

Her insightful guidance, strategic thinking, and ability to foster meaningful discussions have helped refine my decision-making skills and develop a more compassionate, inclusive leadership style while still driving results and accountability.
Leadership takes a conscious effort. Through two LEAD Academies with Russo Leadership, I’ve learned to push myself beyond my comfort zone — and while it’s still uncomfortable at times, I can actually feel the growth.
Excerpts from feedback on earlier leadership development experiences. The current Leadership Practice format is described above.
Vision
As you share more ideas and take more risks, you will gain more credibility, and it will help you with the further steps and executing the idea in the long run
Alignment
In order to have alignment, you need to provide clarity, dialogue, and inspiration.
Execution
One insight I have from today is feedback is such a critical part of execution and I think it’s probably the area that leaders focus on the least.
