People working with leaders who understand and live out their leadership ability are significantly more satisfied with those leaders’ actions and strategies. They also feel more committed, excited, energized, influential, and powerful. There’s no hard evidence to support the assertion that leadership is imprinted in the DNA of only some individuals. Leadership is not a gene, and it’s not a trait—it’s a set of skills, and anyone can learn new skills. 

Game-changing organizations rewrite traditional playbooks. They stand out. They often create disproportionate value relative to their size and resources. They have big dreams but know how to get things done. These organizations have a palpable “buzz” to them. They have a breakaway business model, but they also have a breakaway spirit and organizational culture.

Leaders of these game-changing organizations understand the power and importance of telling their companies’ compelling stories. They are hard-edged business leaders but they also embrace what others might consider to be the “soft side” of leading: purpose, vision, and climate. They know how to integrate the hard and soft sides of leadership into a powerful formula that makes them game-changers. These leaders and their organizations are purpose-driven, performance-oriented, and principles-led. The weaving together of these three capabilities simultaneously is what helps them get and stay out in front.

“The course is a well-balanced combination of theory and practice, with topics that are very relevant to the challenges that organizations face in terms of the disruptive march of technology and the massive generational and geographic switches currently emerging in both the customer and workforce.”

Modules Include:

This program is geared to upper to senior level managers who are responsible for or make strong contributions to their companies’ strategy, vision, and operational priorities. In larger companies that would usually mean being among the top 500 enterprise leaders: division, business unit, functional or geographic leadership team members. In smaller firms, it might mean the team that is propelling the company forward. The program will also be extremely valuable for HR professionals who are in senior roles and responsible for contributing to enterprise-wide change or capability building efforts.
