A leader who isn’t afraid to bring their heart to work. A leader who is willing to lead with vulnerability as well as competence and technical skill. I encourage this year’s advancees to continue to aspire to this call of leadership.”
Each year CLA makes compensation and advancement decisions through an inclusive and collaborative process. These decisions are made by coaches and leaders who take time to know and help our CLA family members live their inspired careers.
