The Leadership Growth Group Program
Description
An engaging leadership development program for
- Developing leaders
- Challenging and stretching participants
- Transforming organizations
Leadership Growth Groups are highly participative groups of professionals who want to increase their overall effectiveness as leaders and managers. The sessions are designed to challenge, stretch, and inspire participants to higher levels of leadership, effectiveness, and impact.
Background
For many years ACEC/MN has offered The Effective Management Program, a comprehensive management development program for principals and managers of member firms. The program, led by Don Salverda, President of Donald Salverda and Associates, has been well received and highly successful.
The Leadership Growth Group Program is an outgrowth of The Effective Management Program with a focus on leadership development.
The Philosophy
It’s been said that most organizations are overly managed and under led.
The philosophy behind The Leadership Growth Group Program is simply that all leaders are a work in progress: that we all have the potential for improved effectiveness. The goal of this program is to encourage and challenge participants to be better leaders.
The Program Objectives
- To provide ongoing interaction, sharing of leadership and management experiences, and lessons learned in a small group setting.
- To react to and discuss new ideas and concepts pertaining to leadership and management.
- To challenge and stretch each other to higher levels of leadership effectiveness.
- To serve as a professional growth and support group.
