Introducing our Proprietary
Leading-Edge Leader™ Program

For the past 25 years, we've had the great pleasure to work with some amazingly, talented leaders in world-class companies.  When working with them, we learned from them and recorded their best practices around leading themselves, leading others and leading their organizations. We are excited to pass along what we've discovered to you and to your team of leaders.

The Leading-Edge Leader™ (LEL) Curriculum

Leading Self

Typically, this content is skipped in traditional leadership programs which is a mistake to our way of thinking.  Knowing who you are and what you value, understanding your skills and strengths and increasing your confidence & emotional intelligence is foundational to being a capable leader of other people.   

Leading Others

So much of leading others is common sense but not common practice.  During this journey, participants come to understand that developing others on their team shouldn't be an afterthought, but rather an essential part of their everyday activities.  This segment provides a toolkit of invaluable key management concepts and practices that can be implemented right away.      

Leading the Organization

This last segment rounds out your leaders education regarding their ability to make decisions in alignment with the overall strategy of the organization. It features functional leaders from your organization sharing key business initiatives and how the organization makes money.  Also included is instruction on how to set goals, how to successfully manage projects and the importance of creating an all-star customer service experience.

Format

The curriculum can be delivered entirely virtually, entirely in-person or in a blended fashion.  

Timing

Each segment of the training (Leading Self, Leading Others & Leading the Organization) takes about three months.  

Cohort Size

An ideal cohort size is about 30 participants.  We recommend populating it with individuals from across the organization.  

Licensing
