The Extreme Leadership Institute

A true leader recognizes that effective leadership influences more than just a company’s profitability. This prompts the question, what does it take to cultivate the leadership virtues that can positively affect people and propel one’s organization to unprecedented heights of excellence?

Psychology has an answer. According to it, love in leadership is the secret to being a true leader. Respecting people’s individual characteristics and growth processes, caring enough to grasp what is important to them, and assisting them in reaching their potential, all play an instrumental role in making a leader successful.

Recognizing this, The Extreme Leadership Institute is at the fore of furthering these values to businesses across the globe through leadership development and training. Founded and spearheaded by world-renowned keynote speaker and best-selling author Steve Farber, it specializes in helping organizations realize their potential by using various culture transformation tactics rooted deeply in passion, support, and, most importantly—love. These transformative tactics range from in-person training to company culture consulting, along with keynote speeches, conferences, online courses, mastermind groups, and operational plans premised on the firm’s proprietary and results-driven methodology.

The standards and principles that the Extreme Leadership Institute assists its clients in manifesting distinguish it from other competitors in the market. The framework of its services is predicated on four tenets that an inspiring and effective leader must possess to have maximum impact; cultivating Love, generating Energy, inspiring Audacity, and providing Proof (LEAP). According to Farber, leaders can succeed in their endeavor(s) against all odds if they cultivate a love for it, generate energy for execution, inspire others to audaciously pursue it, and prove their integrity by obtaining positive results.

“Simply put, do what you love in the service of people who love what you do. That’s the essence of what our company promotes,” says Farber, CEO and founder of the Extreme Leadership Institute.

The Extreme Leadership Institute’s training programs are designed to help leaders develop the ability to think strategically, make swift and effective decisions, and lead with resilience and agility. One of the key components of its approach is its use of experiential learning. To elucidate, its training programs are intended to be highly interactive and involve real-life scenarios, dialogue, and role-playing exercises.

This allows clients to practice and apply the skills they learn in a safe and controlled environment before using them in the real world. In addition, the firm also offers coaching and mentoring services to help leaders continue developing and refining their skills after the training program is over. Its certified leadership coaches work with leaders on a one-onone basis to help them identify and overcome any challenges they may be encountering, as well as to provide ongoing support and guidance.

Complementing the Extreme Leadership Institute’s training programs and mentoring services is its uniquely effective and sustainable company culture consulting service. Leveraging a time-tested 7-step approach, the firm optimizes and aligns its clients’ talent around a shared vision with higher enthusiasm, communication, and kindness. The approach commences with identifying their unique needs, gathering baseline data, and reviewing existing strategic plans and goals. It then engages with stakeholders and employees to promote a collaborative approach to developing proper communication and implementation plans and creating a strategic organizational culture roadmap. Following the implementation, the firm surveys the results against baseline data to measure the effectiveness of actions and provides feedback to stakeholders.

Simply put, do what you love in the service of people who love what you do. That’s the essence of what our company promotes

This has enabled it to work closely and successfully with many renowned clients in virtually every industry, including technology, financial services, manufacturing, health care, hospitality, entertainment, retail, education, and government. In one such notable case , when Trailer Bridge, a marine-based freight transportation company, was struggling with profitability and a lack of trust and low morale among the employees, the company’s CEO and his team implemented The Extreme Leadership Institute’s LEAP principles to radically change their company’s culture for the good. Consequently, Trailer Bridge was able to see a dramatic increase in revenue, growth and profitability and win multiple awards for the best place to work.
