 Raising the Leadership Bar (TM) “Turning Talent into Performance” One of the most critical challenges facing companies today is strengthening and retaining Leadership talent. Raising the Leadership Bar (TM) has been developed to address this challenge, and has been specifically designed for Director-­‐level leaders and above, as well as high potential talent. Uniquely tailored for each organization, Raising the Leadership Bar (TM) provides a comprehensive and carefully designed set of learning and development experiences with a singular objective—to accelerate Leadership growth. Key program features include: •

Knowledge and interactive sessions designed to expand foundational Leadership capabilities. Business application to each participant’s particular set of circumstances. Development of a personalized Leadership Agenda, a plan for accelerating Leadership growth and strengthening Leadership impact. Tools for increasing influence, strengthening focus and alignment processes, improving decision making, sharpening business acumen, and leading change. Individual and team problem solving and learning experiences. Daily journaling sessions to create a personalized set of learning insights. Session One: The Leader Within A basic assertion of Raising the Leadership Bar (TM) is that all development begins with self-­‐
development. That said, the primary emphasis of Session One is devoted to personal learning through critical examination of each participant’s Leadership growth experiences to date. In this first session, we also establish a comprehensive context for the program. We do this by describing the mechanics and roadmap for the four program sessions, by exploring fundamental concepts and beliefs about Leadership, and by creating time and processes for critical reflection. We then dive deep into key content areas such as Discovering Who You Are as a Leader, Mapping Your Leadership Journey, and by exploring the Culture of the company and identifying how it influences one’s own Leadership objectives. In this session, participants will also begin to develop a personalized Leadership Agenda, a comprehensive and strategic plan for accelerating Leadership impact. Finally, participants begin to compile a comprehensive Leader’s Toolkit which will consist of all the tools and conceptual models learned in the four sessions. Session One Pre-­‐reading: •
