Lawrence (Larry) Coval didn’t study leadership from the outside; He lived it for nearly four decades. He started at the bottom, worked his way up, and spent years leading large organizations, managing significant revenue, and being accountable for hundreds of people at a time.
ARCANE Leadership Concepts exists for one reason: to fix what the leadership industry got wrong.
Arcane
American
[ahr-keyn]/ ɑrˈkeɪn /
adjective
1. Known or understood by very few; mysterious; secret; obscure; esoteric.
For decades, organizations have spent billions on leadership development that sounds compelling but fails in practice. Engagement is down. Performance is inconsistent. Leaders are overwhelmed. The system isn’t underperforming… it’s broken.
ARCANE IN ACTION
“When I hear the phrase ‘leadership expert,’ I don’t think of professors or psychologists or motivational speakers. And yet, most books and programs come from them. No. I think about people who actually led people under pressure. People with deadlines, projects or revenue on the line. People responsible for jobs. People making hard decisions when there wasn’t a perfect answer. That’s where real leadership knowledge comes from. Those are the people you should be learning from.” – Larry Coval
