Audience: Emerging and practicing leaders looking to climb the leadership ranks, practicing executives interested in lessons from their peers, HR professionals looking to better understand executive leadership.
Objectives:
- To see and understand a senior executive leadership population and to use that insight as a benchmark for your own leadership development.
- To apply the lessons learned from senior executive leaders in your role as an emerging leader, practicing leader, or executive leader.
- To provide a glimpse into the goals senior executive leaders set for themselves including the issue of work/life balance.
The Setup:
What if you had hundreds of senior leaders at your disposal all willing to answer your questions about how to achieve executive success? What would you ask them about being a top leader? What would they say about important topics such as performance, integrity, and relationships? In this session CCL researchers Corey Criswell and Michael Campbell will talk about the pillars of successful executive leadership. These pillars are based on over ten years of CCL research studying and listening to senior executive leaders that have participated in CCL's Leadership at the Peak program.
Lessons (Pillars):
- Performance
- Getting Results
- Executing and Communicating Vision
- Leadership Style
- Culture
- Integrity
- Relationships
- Goals and Balance
Maximizing the Value of the Webinar
- Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
- Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
- Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
