The Future Leadership Model is based on the book Building the Latino Future Success Stories for the Next Generation. In Frank's book, the success stories shared included common threads and each contained elements of six key principles- focus, unity tenacity, unique ability, resiliency, and education. To explain these key principles of success, Frank has created the FUTURE leadership model. This model is not meant to be a sequential, step-by-step process because each element is interconnected, and strengthened by, the others. Rather it is a tool for increasing your success for your organization. This tool will increase your chances for success, gaining perspective, and determining what is lacking in your effort and the organizations efforts to reach the goals.
Each letter of the FUTURE Model represents a module
