Course description
Excelling as an Executive - Thriving in the C Suite
A recent Harvard Business Review article, "The Future of Leadership Development", addresses professional development for executives. 'Most executive education programs - designed as extensions of or substitutes for MBA programs - focus on discipline-based skill sets, such as strategy development and financial analysis, and seriously underplay important relational, communication, and affective skills.'
Leader Development Institute's mission is to bring quality professional development to the American and international workforce. Of that, most are geared toward mid-level managers, supervisors, and non-supervisory employees. However, research indicates the need for ongoing and appropriate executive-level professional development as well.
The article goes on to address three major gaps in current executive development;
1.) Motivation: More executives are looking for skills beyond the MBA style of programs. Instead, they're looking to develop more self-awareness, peer communication, and influence, among others.
2.) Skill needs vs what's available: Particularly the interpersonal skills essential to thriving in today's flat, networked, increasingly collaborative organizations. Much of the executive training out there misses the mark.
3.) Transference: It's vital the topics, information, and learning experience with peers are where executives can implement them immediately.
In this Success Series Seminar, the focus is to bring you to a higher level of thinking and leading, it is a mind-shift from what you've always done…to what you must do to stay in the game. How to rapidly adapt to changing conditions, new information, or unexpected obstacles. Executive, Leadership, Values. Emotional Intelligence, EQ.
