PDF · 6 Jun 2025

This 42-page PDF slide/participant guide ("[LDP] Leader Lab - Challenger") by Dan Cremons is a leadership-training module focused on the "Challenger" hat — leading with "loving pressure." It explains core Challenger beliefs (people rise or shrink to expectations; growth occurs in the stretch zone; default thinking blocks breakthroughs; people are capable of more), presents a four-skill stack (1. Setting high expectations; 2. Throwing down the challenge using the C.A.B.S. mnemonic; 3. Pushing the thinking by removing/applying constraints; 4. Inspiring belief via belief-busting coaching), and includes practical exercises (pair and small-group practices, scripted prompts, timed rounds) plus a 4-week rollout plan to build the muscle. The guide emphasizes mindset first, then actions, and offers concrete tools and sample language for leaders to apply "loving pressure" without damaging relationships.
