Program Details
Transforming great people-managers into high-impact leaders
The year-long Lead program focuses on high-potential talent in middle management, often director to vice president level. They typically have 15+ years of experience and are recognized as having senior-executive potential. Our focus is on guiding them to become influential leaders in today’s ever-evolving workplace.
This is a high-impact, hybrid program, bringing together individuals from across companies, industries, functions, and all of North America. The program uniquely combines one-on-one mentoring with peer networking and an innovative and dynamic curriculum of interactive, monthly online educational workshops, plus four in-person summit days.
A vibrant interview process explores each individual’s opportunities and challenges, facilitating the ideal one-on-one Mentor match with a seasoned senior executive from outside the Mentee’s organization. The participant is surrounded by a small group of peers— akin to a personal board of directors—facing similar professional challenges and focused on like goals. The peer exchanges complement the rich workshop content.
The curriculum comprises actionable content that combines level-appropriate topics with cutting-edge trends. Tailored to each cohort’s specific needs, the topics include key concepts such as influence, creating culture, politicking with integrity, building executive presence, and earning your seat at the table.
