• A four-day, hands-on workshop to improve leadership and management skills for high potential managers.

• About you. The subject matter for the week is the participants in the class.
  
  

• You have been identified as a high potential manager within your organization.
• You are a manager of other managers and/or you have direct responsibility for a work unit, work group, or team.
• You wish to make your work unit more productive and a better place in which to work.

• LEAD is offered as an open enrollment program five times a year in Ann Abor, Michigan. It also is and has been offered as an inhouse program by such companies as General Dynamics, Estee Lauder, Motorola and BWX Technologies.

• Pre-program Interviews Before the LEAD sessions begin, participants and their supervisors are interviewed to determine their needs and to help them set goals for themselves.
• Four-day Workshop Participants in LEAD are involved in assessing strengths and weaknesses of their leadership and management competencies, personal style and the current culture of their work unit. Participants then develop comprehensive change plans to improve each of these areas.
• Throughout the week each person has private consultation time with members of the faculty. In addition, they participate in constructive feedback and consulting sessions with the other participants in the program.
• Post Program Follow-up After the four-day session is completed we provide post-session follow-up, including a series of phone consultations to review actual implementation of the personal and work unit change plans.
  

• Other programs are either about leadership, personal style or they are about organizational change.
• LEAD is about all three at the same time.
• LEAD helps participants integrate the changes they need to make in their personal style and leadership competencies with changes that are needed to make their work units both more productive and a better place to work.
• LEAD is not a lecture course.
• Instead LEAD requires participants to take part in real life problem solving exercises related to themselves and their work units.
• LEAD is about the realities of leading and managing within the context of each participants organization.
• Our hands-on, applied approach makes LEAD different from any other leadership enhancement workshop.
• In LEAD, the subject matter for the week is the participants in the class.

• Participants examine and come to understand the five core competencies needed by high-performance leaders:
• Leading people
• Managing systems
• Building and working on teams
• Transforming the organization
• Enhancing ones personal style

By the conclusion of the workshop, each participant will have developed specific plans on how theyre going to implement change on the-job and improve the performance of their particular work units.
