The Foundations course is the cornerstone
in a series of leadership development training
programs that focus specifically on the needs
of IT executives. This program begins the leadership
development process where it must begin: with
the basic values and philosophies that create
an environment for high performance.
Through a thoughtful review of values and philosophies
that have stood the test of time, each individual
participant begins to see both his or her individuality
and interdependence with others in a new way.
Unlike most leadership development programs that
focus solely on technique, the Foundations program
centers on organizational values and principles
that are fundamental to truly great leadership.
Program participants explore the relationship
between leadership and a high commitment, high
performance environment. Through a mixture of
ancient philosophy and real life business challenges
important insights emerge as to values and behaviors
essential for great leadership.
While the course is suitable for individual development,
it is especially powerful when offered to intact
management teams. In such cases, at the conclusion
of the course, each team tests the utility of
what they have learned by relating values and
principles to familiar business scenarios from
their own environment. Participants also join
together to craft their own statement of values
and commit as leaders and architects of their
organizations environment to make them a reality
with their own team or organization.
