The LEAD Institute - Executive Leadership Training & Consulting

“In my 25 years of Program Management, Quality and Manufacturing, I have not attended a better course! LEAD specifically dealt with my personal leadership style, skills and faults and the organizational culture change needed in my work unit.“

Comprehensive Approach

The session begins before the participants arrive at the conference facility and, with post session follow-up, extends beyond the close of the program week. These are some of the features that make LEAD a comprehensive program for improvement:

• Prior to LEAD, participants and their supervisors are interviewed to get an understanding of the participants’ needs and goals.

• The LEAD faculty are involved in the program with the participants for the entire course. The 1:4 faculty/participant ratio enables us to provide personalized counseling and guidance every day — before, during and after each class day.

• To extend the personalized nature of LEAD even further, participants are assigned to teams with two other participants from different industries. Members in these consulting trios meet a couple of times a day to share insights, best practices and suggestions for improvement with each other.

• LEAD uses an assessment and data driven change process. As the course progresses participants get 360° feedback on their effectiveness as transformational leaders and transaction managers. The faculty and consulting trios ensure it is understood an acted upon.

• Nothing can be so meaningful as constructive feedback and praise from respected peers. As the week comes to a close participants in the class get face-to-face, constructive improvement feedback from everyone in the class.

• LEAD does not end after the four day long program comes to a close. The faculty are scheduled to maintain personal contact with participants and their supervisors to help ensure what was learned and developed is used on-the-job.
