    5 Practices to Become a Stronger Leader

Christian shares insights from his background in international disaster relief and athletics, drawing parallels between athletic training and leadership training. He emphasizes that effective leadership, much like athletic performance, requires a structured, continuous approach rather than a one-time immersion in concepts. Christian critiques the typical path to leadership, where technical proficiency often leads to promotion without adequate leadership development. He also highlights the leadership gap in modern businesses, where millennials, in particular, lack the necessary training due to insufficient mentorship from previous generations. Adam and Christian explore ways to address this gap, emphasizing the importance of ongoing leadership training in building successful organizations. Christian Muntean offers strategic consultancy through Vantage Consulting, drawing on his global experience from over 40 countries to enhance business and leadership practices. His approach is informed by a comprehensive background in organizational growth and efficiency. Christian lives in Anchorage, Alaska, where he balances his professional insights with a personal passion for woodworking and Brazilian jujitsu.
