II. Purpose and Objectives

Designed for up to thirty leaders. This exciting weekend represents a total immersion into the most important elements of leadership. The focus is heavily upon the leaders' current style and effectiveness, and presents participants with a plethora of tools and models in order to increase their individual effectiveness as leaders. Unlike our Team Top Gun program, this program does not use simulations, bur rather combines targeted insight with integrated models to form the basis of an action plan to transfer into increased effectiveness.
