CORE PROGRAM ELEMENTS
The program is delivered in three phases over the course of nine months. Each phase consists of three days of instruction combined with intervening project work and individual development activities. Due to the number of enrollments, there will be three cohorts. All three cohorts will be together during Phase 3.
March 1 - 3, 2021; March 5, 8 - 9, 2021; March 10 - 12, 2021
Phase 1: Leading with Authenticity – This session is devoted to developing ‘self ’ and understanding the power of culture in executive development. Participants will gain insights to intentionally use culture— individual, corporate and national—in service of optimum individual and business performance.
May 3 - 5, 2021; May 7, 10-11, 2021; May 12 - 14, 2021
Phase 2: Leading High Performance Teams – In the second session participants learn to leverage cultural diversity in others to maximize the performance of work units and teams and to work effectively across borders. This session features Latino executives currently working globally. Participants learn to use coaching and mentoring tools to develop talent and gain institutional knowledge.
September 20 - 23, 2021
Phase 3: Becoming a Corporate Leader – Participants learn to apply heightened cultural awareness and develop social capital needed to lead strategic thinking, innovation, and change at enterprise levels. They gain an understanding of roles and behaviors associated with the highest levels of corporate leadership, including the relevance of active community engagement.
Assessment – After acceptance into the program, each participant undergoes an assessment of individual competencies based on those identified with successful executive leadership. The results of this personal assessment form the basis of a mentoring relationship that continues throughout the program. Mentors are chosen for their significant experience within a Fortune 1000 company.
Project – Throughout the program, participants work in small teams where they use their growing cultural awareness, knowledge of interpersonal behavior, enterprise thinking capability, and appreciation of community engagement to create and develop a business project in social entrepreneurship. Team project business plans are presented to instructors, advisers, mentors, sponsors, and advisory board members at the conclusion of the program.
