Next Generation
Leadership Series

Overview

Here come the world’s future business leaders! The Millennials: A generation that has been granted leadership roles earlier than any other generation in U.S. history.

Millennial leaders are a necessity during this time of pervasive ambiguity and frenetic change in the global marketplace. Although considered less experienced, they provide tremendous value with energy, fresh insights, and tech-savvy ideas – the qualities necessary to succeed in the globalized economy.

Before the Baby Boomers retire en mass, organizations need to be looking hard at this group and asking:

Which Millennial leaders could be “executive material”?
In whom should the organization make a development investment?

Preparing Next Generation of Leaders


The Next Generation Leadership Series is a holistic, four-part development program that prepares high-potential Millennial leaders to make a greater contribution to their organizations. Framed in a distinctly generational context, it dramatically stretches participants' leadership capacity while teaching them to effectively apply core business principles to improve organizational performance and results.

Each of the four, multi-day programs is:

  • Focused on developing and applying next-generation competencies
  • Fast-paced, interactive, and collaborative
  • Facilitated by credentialed faculty, thought-leaders, and accomplished practitioners
  • Designed to foster a tight-knit network of peers who encourage, support, and challenge each other long after the program ends

Benefits of the Series


While each of the programs may be taken independently to fulfill particular development needs, those who complete the entire four-part series will be best prepared to:

  • Lead and influence with credibility, confidence, and compassion
  • Connect, communicate and collaborate with all generations and cultures in the workplace
  • Make smart, well-informed decisions
  • Navigate complexity, change, conflict, and ambiguity
  • Coach, mentor, manage, and motivate direct reports
  • Participate in additional executive-level development programs
