How it Works:
Your organization's decision-makers select high potential leaders (ideally from various levels in the organization). Together they undertake a comprehensive, rigorous six-month program. The program includes four Intensives, which are three-day off-site seminars. On alternating weeks the leaders either attend a one-hour in-person Leadership Skills Class or work one-on-one with their Executive Coach. Included in the program is a Leadership Strengths Assessment, a 360 Degree Leadership Evaluation, a weekly Leading in Action assignment which supports the leaders in applying and practicing their new skills. EIL concludes with a graduation ceremony where each leader presents their individual Capstone Project.
