The Leadership Experience
The
Leadership Experience is designed for people
interested in improving their management and leadership skills. It
is designed for senior leaders as well as those new to management
ranks (including project managers and directors).
The Leadership Experience is a 3 1/2-day course in which
participants, working in groups, assume senior management roles.
They analyze information, make decisions, and experience the
consequences of their decisions. There is special emphasis on the
skills required to establish cooperation, diagnose and correct
dysfunctional groups, and combine the skills of multiple people to
accomplish what cannot be done alone. This is a very intensive
program designed for those who are serious about improving their
leadership skills.
Upon completion of The Leadership Experience, participants
will be able to:
● Create and maintain cooperation among people.
● Diagnose and correct dysfunctional group dynamics.
● Delegate more effectively.
● Grow and develop other people.
● Set up situations allowing others to take significant
responsibilities for work.
● Intervene when required results are not achieved.
● Bring people together to seize opportunity.
● Integrate opportunity into current strengths.
● Measure progress and provide objective feedback.
● Conduct activities consistent with strategy.
● Contribute to the formulation and implementation of strategy.
The
Leadership Experience is offered as an internal,
private company program, and in cooperation with associations.
What Past Participants Are Saying
"This experience provides a different perspective of
the role of a manager and very different from what I have been
taught before. The logic is there and it explains why this process
works so successfully. This has been a wonderful experience."
"When I think back on the week and all the other conferences I have
attended — I am absolutely amazed at the level of emotional
involvement I experienced. Thank you for your guidance. This is by
far the most valuable experience of my career."
"This has been a tremendous experience. I really feel that I will be
much more effective than I was before. The tasks that I need to
accomplish are now crystal clear."
"The combination of the simulation with the clear concise
discussions of the issues being experienced and understanding the
true role of management and leadership made this session a
once-in-a-lifetime experience."
"WONDERFUL — thank you so much for investing your time and energy
into my professional growth."
"This is one of the few classes that has maintained such an intense
level of learning every day — the time flew — and each day was
amazing."
"Obviously my management skills were lacking when I started this
course. I hope I can find a position in which I have the opportunity
to put into practice what I have learned."
"It was very rewarding to learn more about management than I had in
the past — especially defining the key role of management. This has
also made me think critically about the management issues and
methods that occur within institutions."
