The LEAD Institute - Executive Leadership Training & Consulting

On-Site LEAD Program

What we do in the LEAD Institute has a long history. LEAD actually started out as an inhouse program when we developed the Manufacturing Leadership Program for AT&T and then Lucent fifteen years ago. It contained some of the core processes we use in LEAD today. About seven years ago we developed the five day version of the LEAD Institute for High Potential Managers as an inhouse program to develop 500 of a Motorola’s global, high potential and succession plan managers. This program was conducted at numerous locations in the United States, South East Asia and Europe.

In addition to our open enrollment program, we continue to offer LEAD as an inhouse program. Companies choose to do it inhouse when they want to both develop individual leaders and have a major impact on organizational change. Some of the other added benefits our client companies can get by conducting LEAD as an inhouse workshop are as follows:

•	Ensure the personal developmental needs of high potential leaders are attended to by creating a corporate mentoring program where senior leaders provide guidance and counseling to participants after the program.

•	Enhance valued added performance improvement and personal growth by developing processes to ensure that change plans participants create at the workshop are implemented and evaluated.

•	Build and/or reinforce the company’s image and core values in the participants so the participants can in turn communicate this to others in the company.

•	Ensure that all future leaders are getting the same leadership message and know how their characteristics and performance is evaluated.

•	Provide participants access to Senior Leadership by having them give presentations on important company related topics and issues during the LEAD program.

•	Increase retention by providing participants with an understanding that who they are and what they’ve accomplished is recognized and valued by the company.

•	Enhance peer-to-peer net working, peer consultation, sharing of best practices and lateral integration within and across locations and businesses.

•	Create a sense of belonging and commitment in participants to company.

•	Ensure the company’s capability to expand the business by building a larger and diverse pool of leadership talent on which to draw.
