Prior to the program, participants are assessed by their boss, associates and peers on the Executive Effectiveness Profile Volume 1 and personally complete the Attentional and Interpersonal-Style Survey, Management Style Preference Index, Leadership Style Preference Index, Interpersonal Effectiveness Profile, Interpersonal Preferences Profile and Leadership Assumptions Instrument.
The three days of training involve large amounts of experiential learning exercises and strategic, tactical and personal content on various leadership skills and knowledge modules.
