The Leadership Journey

Business Challenge

Behind every successful organization are great leaders who are able to motivate and unleash the talents and capabilities of their people.  When confronted with change, they inspire commitment and accountability rather than force compliance. They are people of confidence, enthusiasm and character.  Developing these leaders to their full potential must be a strategic priority for today's organizations if they hope to face the emerging challenges of the future.

The Leadership Journey

The Leadership Journey is a leadership development program designed to explore the territories of leadership through which all leaders must travel in order to grow to their full potential. It provides participants with insights, skills, and tools to safely navigate into the future…to become a more effective leader…to experience the importance of character in daily decision making…to make a difference in our world.

Key Content

Each module of the program takes participants on a virtual "journey of understanding" to a new destination in order to discover the underlying truths and practices that have set some men and women's leadership efforts apart. We use the natural wonders of the world as learning metaphors. The program analogies provide familiar reference points and easy associations for remembering key concepts.
For example:

• We stop at the Great Pyramid in Egypt to uncover the secrets of lasting leadership.
• We explore the walls of the Grand Canyon to learn about diversity and about bridging the canyons of misunderstanding that we so frequently encounter throughout life's journey.
• We venture deep into the Amazon in search of the hidden secrets of teamwork.
• We face the shifting sands of the Sahara to understand the dynamics of change.
• We climb to the summit of Mount Everest to experience the power of a dream, of goals and of action plans for our jobs, our careers, and our lives.
