Personalized Leadership Development Program

The Personalized Leadership Development Program is an intensive five-day leadership training program available in weekend and weekday formats. Once Drs. Farr and Latty-Mann created the final program format, they presented this leadership training program in partnership with the Institute for Executive Education at Wake Forest University's Babcock Graduate School of Management, where The Leadership Trust's President Holly Latty-Mann held the position of Executive Professor of Leadership Development through September, 2001. Since that time, The Leadership Trust ® has enjoyed sharing its unique approach to leadership development training with other educational institutions, perhaps most notably with the Fuqua School of Business, their Coach K Center of Leadership and Ethics at Duke University. With this in mind, if you represent a business program or management training courses with special interest in leadership development, we welcome your inquiries.

Our leadership training program is personalized and tailored to your unique needs and goals, and thus class size is restricted to an enrollment of approximately 10 who are seeking to enhance their credibility, visibility and presence in addition to enhancing their abilities to value, grow, motivate, and inspire their employees/associates/family members. This entails optimizing your personality or delivery system because if certain others who are important in your life do not like your style of communicating, you are already experiencing a leadership and/or personal crisis. People whom you wish to retain in both your professional and personal life have a need to feel valued as unique and special contributors.

Through this leadership training program you'll learn how to get people to want to follow and support your lead while contributing their motivated best. You will learn what you can do to have people feel good about themselves when interacting with you - even when receiving negative feedback from you. When people feel good about themselves around you, independent of whether conditions around you are stressful or not, they will give you their best. In short, it is not so much how others perceive you as a leader as it is how they perceive themselves in your presence. After all, that is the only way a person can ultimately feel good about you as their leader.

Participants in this five-day leadership training program are purposefully a mix of experienced executives, managers and staff leaders from a broad range of organizations, a mixture that has been shown to create the most robust outcome experiences and results. After all, and for an example, CFOs must work with others beyond the financial arena and throughout different levels within the organization. This personalized leadership training program goes beyond what management training courses offer in that it uses special processes to promote a smooth, natural-feeling re-entry after the workshop.

Through this personalized leadership development training program you'll learn to:  

• Use yourself as the instrument of your leadership; i.e., use your personality, perspective, and behavior to create the kind of humanistically powerful leadership traits that invigorate others,
• Apply the principles of motivation to create effective, energized associates,
• Understand and manage optimally the leadership process despite the nature of your pressing challenges,
• Hone your emotional intelligence in order to maintain your competitive edge in our fast-shifting market place, and
• Optimize your communication style through a personal transformational process such that others are more likely to connect meaningfully with you both at work and at home.  

Imagine yourself fully feeling like a leader rather than using up all that energy acting like one.

Again, it's about authenticity, and The Leadership Trust® goes so far as to say that authenticity is your birth right, and thus it is time for you to reclaim and recover it.
