THE
ADVANCED LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
HIGH-PERFORMANCE LEADERSHIP:
Beyond Performance Management- (Part 1)
Description:
The first part of the Advanced Leadership Program helps you discover how
today's most effective leaders, from high-powered executives to Olympic
trainers, meet leadership challenges by using feedback from the Internationally
recognized and popular "Attentional and Interpersonal Style Inventory
Assessment" ("TAIS") instrument.
You receive specific guidance on your current attentional and leadership
strengths and areas needing improvement. You learn special techniques
to focus your attention, achieve your goals and maintain peak performance
levels, both for yourself and those you work with. The program also includes
personal guidance, coaching and counseling from program leaders with expertise
to help keep you on the cutting edge of leadership effectiveness. You
also participate in simulations and exercises, self-assessment activities,
feedback sessions and case studies. You take home a personalized action
plan to improve your leadership behavior and performance levels.
