WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND


Exceptional managers and leaders approach problems and opportunities fundamentally differently than others. They have a mindset toward management and leadership developed through experience.

We believe that management and leadership are sciences — and that they should be studied and developed with the same discipline found in all other sciences. We've spent the last fifteen years studying the specific skills and mindset required for exceptional management and leadership, and developing and testing a unique, intense curriculum that accelerates the experience of being a leader.

This is an intense course, using both didactic and experiential learning methodologies. Participants are provided the opportunity to integrate a comprehensive, systematic management and leadership model into their daily personal and professional work.

This is not material that you will forget in a week. A recent survey of past participants reveals that 90% still use the material every day after two years. We look forward to having you in the session.



  The Executive Experience is a five-day, open enrollment development session that focuses on business leadership that achieves business results. Participants, working in groups, assume senior management roles for a company. They analyze, make decisions, plan, and experience the consequences of their decisions. In this program participants do general management work and are given considerable resources from which to reflect and learn from their experience.

Participants in The Executive Experience are those identified as key people who currently have accountability for (or have the potential for) operating a company, a division, or a significant project.

Clients receive an assessment of the participant’s general manager ability; this assessment is based on observation of his or her actual performance of general management work. Additionally, participants do the initial planning for a project that is assigned before the program. The project allows for immediate application of the skills and concepts learned in the program. Most important, the participant is given the resources and a systematic model for understanding and developing general management functions.

Upon completion of The Executive Experience, participants will be able to:

  • Build cooperation among people.

  • Diagnose and correct dysfunctional group dynamics.

  • Bring people together to seize opportunity.

  • Integrate opportunity into corporate strengths.

  • Conduct business activities consistent with corporate strategy.

  • Contribute to the formulation and implementation of corporate strategy.

  • Formulate policies which allow others to take major responsibility.

  • Articulate opportunity.

  • Prepare a strategic plan.

  • Formulate tactics.

  • Operationalize plans.

  • Focus personal development in specific areas.

In the business simulation, participants work in small groups and assume responsibility for setting and executing corporate strategy. Their function-specific and collective decisions directly impact their businesses' performance and competitive situation.

The participants are responsible for the general management of their businesses and encounter many opportunities to reflect and learn throughout their experience.

 

What Past Participants Are Saying


"This experience provides a different perspective of the role of a manager and very different from what I have been taught before. The logic is there and it explains why this process works so successfully. This has been a wonderful experience."

"When I think back on the week and all the other conferences I have attended — I am absolutely amazed at the level of emotional involvement I experienced. Thank you for your guidance. This is by far the most valuable experience of my career."

"This has been a tremendous experience. I really feel that I will be much more effective than I was before. The tasks that I need to accomplish are now crystal clear."

"The combination of the simulation with the clear concise discussions of the issues being experienced and understanding the true role of management and leadership made this session a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

"WONDERFUL — thank you so much for investing your time and energy into my professional growth."

"This is one of the few classes that has maintained such an intense level of learning every day — the time flew — and each day was amazing."

"Obviously my management skills were lacking when I started this course. I hope I can find a position in which I have the opportunity to put into practice what I have learned."

"It was very rewarding to learn more about management than I had in the past — especially defining the key role of management. This has also made me think critically about the management issues and methods that occur within institutions."
