Learning Competencies

Lead and Innovate for High Performance returns you to your workplace with new insights about yourself, others, and business. You will explore creative and innovative methods and tools used by successful managers to anticipate, adapt, and achieve in the competitive economy.

You will add skills to your leadership toolbox that will help you:

Examine your own management and leadership strategies. Starting on the very first day, through the management and leadership profile assessments, you will learn more about yourself, how you interact with others at work and develop a strategy for making your interpersonal relationships more effective.
Explore how to foster and use creativity, the ultimate resource for yourself and your organization. Today's high performing organizations stand out from the rest by practicing creative approaches to boost performance and solve problems in the workplace.
Understand the importance of creating a system for innovation to increase profitability. Companies utilizing "Innovation Engineering" see innovation speed increase (6x) and risk decrease (30% - 80%). Learn how to build a system for your business.
Practice business decision-making. The Capstone Simulation® provides a unique opportunity to function as the "executive team" of a simulated organization. Participants are required to make decisions in a fast-paced, dynamic and constantly changing marketplace.
Network with other participants and faculty. One of the richest aspects of the program is the chance to interact with other business professionals from a variety of organizations to learn about each other – and from each other.
