Seminar Overview
Effective leaders know themselves. They recognize their strengths and develop the means for overcoming weaknesses and leveraging their abilities.
Leadership Development is designed to build the personal foundation for leadership excellence through a comprehensive assessment of participants’ relevant attitudes, perceptions, behaviors, and skills, and the development of strategies for personal growth. Using a multi-rater (360 degree) assessment instrument appropriate to the realities of the participant’s organization and role, this seminar builds on the three cornerstones of leadership development: challenge, assessment, and support. In preparation for the seminar, an organizational needs assessment designed to identify critical leadership success factors is conducted. Thereafter, a reliable, valid assessment instrument intended to measure these success factors is selected and modified as necessary, then administered to participants and raters. Once scored, a one day group session is conducted to expose participants to the foundations of effective leadership, the factors measured by the instrument, and methods for analyzing results. The group session is followed by private, personal feedback sessions in which students and Center associates interpret results, identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop strategies to improve workplace effectiveness. Although optional, a six month re-evaluation is available and encouraged.
