Program Schedule
Foundations of Leadership Program (FOL)

Day 1
Charting your own course

  • Self-exploration: Revisit past experiences that have had an impact on leadership styles and choices; receive feedback with a tool that measures competency in 15 skill areas
  • Leadership and influence: Take part in a highly interactive videotaped activity to experience and examine important aspects of group dynamics and receive results of a self-assessment


Day 2
Navigating relationships

  • Derailment: Review CCL’s research on reasons why leaders’ careers derail, the importance of interpersonal relations, and strategies for strengthening relationships
  • Conflict dynamics: Discuss results of a feedback tool that measures conflict behavior, identify areas to target improvement, and practice in an interactive videotaped activity
  • Interpersonal relationships: Receive feedback with a self-assessment that looks at interpersonal needs— inclusion, control, and affection—and how these needs can drive how others perceive us


Day 3
Setting a new direction

  • Goal setting: Envision a fulfilling future
  • Mapping a plan of action: Create and share a leadership action goal
  • Personal development: Meet one-on-one with a certified NLI coach to strategize on how to achieve goals
