Our Goal
This course is designed to help the emerging leader discover how to access and use key tools that will be instrumental in building long-term leadership success. The program explores leadership from the theoretical, historical, and literary framework in order to provide the participant an unforgettable learning experience, and a basis from which to anchor his or her leadership journey.
Why Emerging Leaders Seminar?
This unique seminar provides emerging leaders with the tools, perspectives, and lessons from real-world situations. We focus on developing authentic leaders. We approach leadership development from a combined business, experiential, and academic perspective.
The course helps the participant acquire a life-changing perspective of what great leadership can mean to the individual and the organization.
The cost of putting an unprepared leader in front of a team, large or small, can be disastrous. Organizations slow down, good people quit to find other opportunities, and the leader, elevated because of demonstrated potential, now faces a ruined reputation.
Emerging leader development is important because productivity, morale, and performance all depend on leadership that understands the complexities of individuals in the modern organization.
FROM THE FOUNDER
For the past 30 years I have been involved in the process of leading people and organizations, developing change strategies for people and organizations, and worrying about how leaders ought to be developed.
From the football field to the U.S. Marines, from the high-speed action of Nike to the intensely complex high-tech world of Sequent, and from roles as Vice President to entrepreneur, I have seen the need for leadership that not only achieves organizational goals, but for leadership that makes a difference in the lives of people.
Team success depends on leadership. Leadership in the modern era depends on knowledge of how people and organizations function in the fast-paced knowledge world. Emerging leaders need every advantage available.
Why Our Courses?
Needs of the Emerging Leader
As an individual contributor, success came by achieving individual goals, putting in extra effort, demonstrating outstanding competence, or through sheer personal willpower.On the other hand, leaders enter a world where success is dependent upon successful relationships with superiors, peers, and subordinates.
These relationships can be complex and frustrating at times. As a result, there are three common transitional issues facing emerging leders:
-
Transitioning from individual responsibility for success to directing the work of others and depending on the work of others for success.
-
Developing a network of relationships that will be used to accomplish organizational and departmental goals.
-
Adjusting to the reality of management in the modern age where interpersonal, legal, and administrative issues are prevalent in the workplace.
