Pre-Course Work

Participants will be asked to fill out several assessment surveys in advance. Certain surveys require that the participant’s direct reports, peers, and superiors complete evaluations as well. The surveys are time sensitive, so it is important that you pay attention to the deadline for completion.

Follow-Up Coaching

Follow-up coaching is available to assess your progress toward your goals and support your continued development. Ninety-minute sessions are available three months after completion of the program and may be conducted by telephone or face-to-face.

The National Leadership Institute conducts this program under license from the Center for Creative Leadership.
