## The Pro Leader Framework
The Pro Leader Framework is Bobby McGraw's signature leadership development system. It is built around five stages of leadership growth: Awareness, Alignment, Systems, Presence, and Multiplication. At its center is the concept of the Third Option — the leadership space between abandon (passivity) and abuse (control) — where healthy, accountable leadership lives.

## Signature talks
1. The Pro Leader — What it means to treat leadership as a craft, not a title.
