The Strategic Leader
Imagine mobilizing others to make extraordinary things happen, while building meaningful relationships in the process.
The Strategic Leader Development Series
This 2-day, strategic-level leadership program is designed to inspire and engage, and give organizational leaders a chance to gain insights into their own personal development needs to meet whatever leadership challenges lie ahead for themselves, their executive teams, and their organizations.
Leadership is an Observable, Learnable Set of Practices, Not a Gene.
Perfect for an executive team, this program is based on 30 years of research and data from Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, authors of The Leadership Challenge®. By gathering evidence focused on exactly what great leaders actually do, their findings identify and validate 5 Practices that are critical for leaders to be successful.
Makes a Difference in How Leaders Impact Their Organizations
Participants in this program will work to identify specific actions for improving the Five Practices and for communicating that plan with their team or manager. With a plan of action in hand for taking the key learnings from the workshop back to the workplace, participants are prepared to implement these new leadership practices back on the job and apply them to current organizational challenges.
- Executive / Leadership Teams
- Managers / Directors
- HR Professionals
- High Potentials & Future Leaders
- Anyone Who Wants to Grow as a Leader

Leadership Practices Inventory Self®
