Only 30% of leaders will be successful in their newly promoted roles. This is a direct result of the leader’s inability to connect with their team. EELP sets leaders apart. It ensures they will be a part of the 30%. EELP begins with a leader’s self-awareness and moves to applying this awareness to building strong teams and organizations.
Out of self-awareness, true leaders emerge. The EELP is an Emerging Executive Leadership Program designed to develop leaders from the inside out. This is not a theory class. Emerging executives train with successful entrepreneurs and executives who coach them in self-leadership, and developing high-performance teams. This is real-life, real-time training, so you get immediate results. EELP is a unique program that is successful by combining executive coaching, in tandem, with powerful, interactive workshops.
Phase 1
Seventy-five percent of Stanford Graduate School of Business Advisory Council recommend self-awareness as the most important asset for a leader to develop. This is why we begin by evaluating a person’s true intrinsic and extrinsic motives, through discovering authentic leadership. We increase awareness to one’s strengths and discover the importance of:
- emotional intelligence
- self-management
- relationship management
- social awareness
- values
- ethics
- goals
- balance in processing
- work/life integration
- Executive Presence
We embrace a holistic approach to leadership for the leader and the organization. This approach opens a leader’s understanding to the interconnection of every department within the organization.
Phase 2
The second phase of the program focuses on leading high-performance teams and organizations. We work with leaders to engage in critical thinking and encourage their teams to do the same. We explore the best practices in:
- delegation
- communication
- motivation
- talent recruitment and retention
- dealing with conflict
- tough conversations
- project management
- managing up
- managing different generations
- stimulating creativity in the workplace
- running effective meetings
- Innovation
- …and more!
We take pride in our approach to not give our students the answers but the tools to explore all the possible answers.
EELP consists of:
- monthly workshops
- individual coaching
- group coaching
- team and individual projects
- leadership challenge
There are two options for EELP, On-Site(OS) or our Inter-Organizational Program (IOP). Each participant works individually and in teams. They take on a leadership challenge, they are currently facing, to focus on throughout the entire program.
The program ends with each participant writing a breakthrough-paper and presentation based of what they have learned and their leadership challenge.
