Learning Leadership in the Context of Your World

Developed By Dr. Gordon Whitehead

When I was a leader at Nike, we used a number of Leadership Programs that helped us all get off to a fast start. Those Nike foundations had a big influence on me. Over my years of leadership experience and research, I have built programs to help leaders develop quickly. We focus on fundamental topics that are put into micro-pods that are facilitated by a seasoned executive coach. The result is an immediate impact on the business because leaders spend 2-4 hours a week learning, applying, discussing, sharing, and taking action within their own business environment.

Leaders need an opportunity to discuss, share, and study leadership in a safe environment, to be able to ask questions, and to dig deep within themselves to discover their capabilities and potential.

Participants are able to use the course to make an immediate impact because learning topics integrate with and pivot around both self-development interests and business demands. You become a better leader and a better business person.

Learn from the experiences of other leaders, such as CEOs, VPs, Directors, and major process leaders who have significant business and leadership experience.
