Background:

Leadership is as old as human history but it has been misunderstood in many ways. Many people associate leadership with positions, titles, and as if reserved for few who are born with leadership attributes. In some cultures and traditions, leadership is discouraged or less appreciated. Besides, there are multitudes of people who may avoid leadership because of past bad experiences with their leaders. Still in some countries, many may be appalled by observing the awful fate  of those who ventured to assume leadership roles that they refrain from becoming leaders. The list could continue.

Because of the aforementioned and many other reasons, many people have been living under their potential and withheld their much needed leadership contributions for the improvement of their lives, families, communities, organizations, and nations.

On the other hand, there are many community and small organization leaders who are convinced the importance of leadership and trying their best to serve their people with zeal and commitment. These leaders could have maximized their leadership service if they would get supports to further develop their leadership skills and personality. For some, getting such opportunities may be unaffordable while for some inaccessible. Therefore, PRO Leadership Global was born to contribute its share towards alleviating the above two main challenges.

About the Founder

The founder of the corporation is Dr. Assegid Habtewold. He has been one of the victims of the aforementioned challenges since his pro leadership journey started in 1993. Assegid has a deep belief that his journey could have been easier, smoother, and better if there were organizations that promote leadership, and provide leadership resources and programs for guys like him. Because of that, he determined to contribute his share towards alleviating these and similar challenges- together with partners and supporters- so that the pro leadership journey of many prospect leaders, who face the same kinds of challenges on daily basis, may become a little easier than his.
