Assessment:

Leadership begins with self-knowledge.

Self-knowledge is a key factor in any personal development exercise. Following a comprehensive assessment of leadership competencies and a 3600 survey, all participants receive detailed, individual feedback that provides a sound foundation for enhanced self-knowledge. This helps them to:

Identify specific areas of individual strengths and weaknesses
Learn how specific skills and practices impact leadership performance
Develop leadership skills necessary to adapt to a changing environment
Understand a leader's role in creating a high performance culture

Challenge:

Growth takes place when challenges are overcome.

The most powerful developmental experiences are those that challenge the way we think and act and that force us to develop new strategies for solving problems. To challenge participants, this Program delivers a minimum of seven days of seminars that include:

Leadership simulations, interactive exercises and presentations
Practical problem solving in small teams
Preparation of an Individual Development Plan in support of organizational objectives

Support:

Obstacles become opportunities when support is at hand.

Leadership development cannot be a one-shot event: it requires a concerted effort over a period of time. Individuals striving to develop their leadership skills require ongoing support to help them deal with the kind of challenging experiences that will stretch their abilities. The coaching element of this Program includes:

Ongoing support and coaching by an experienced executive
Ongoing monitoring of Individual Development Plans and Organizational Projects
Access to a roster of coaches with a wide variety of expertise

Networking:

Maintaining and extending contacts are essential steps to career growth.

Each group enrolled in our Program includes individuals from a variety of different sectors and creates networking opportunities that would not otherwise exist. Although class size is limited to 24, the CCI Leadership Institute has an active local Alumni Group, which meets quarterly. There, current participants and graduates have the opportunity to develop new contacts and reacquaint themselves with past classmates.

We continue to evolve the seminar topics to ensure these future leaders remain "state of the art". Alumni have access to current materials through attendance at special workshops and through notes made available on our website.
