Leader Powerup
$6500 |
|
| The leadership powerup is 64 hours of an intense leader development journey into the art of becoming a high performing leader. We conduct this session off-site and two segments. There is one month in between each segment in order to give the participants an opportunity to immerse the concepts taught in the first week into their practical work. They also work on a project that they brief in the second segment. |
| Leading people is the most significant work undertaken in the modern society. Leaders have influence to shape behaviors, produce more products, innovate at faster rates, and help people improve their lives. Regardless of the industry or business, one of the most challenging issues facing top leaders is retaining and developing the organization’s future leaders. |
| The leader powerup crisscrosses the intellectual with the practical to discover and internalize what it takes to be a great leader in today’s complex world. We read and discuss concepts from top experts. We use film and literature to learn to recognize how leadership works in practice. Participants apply relevant case studies to recognize why and how certain leadership styles can be successful in one situation and unsuccessful in another. Engaging leadership development activities are used to provide experiential learning points that drive home the art of leadership. |
| The powerup is a merger of successful elements found in advanced leadership courses taught at the university level, leadership programs used by Fortune 500 companies, and practical real-life lessons from top leaders in industry, including the founder’s experiences at NIKE and the Marines. |
