Leading for Organizational Impact

Senior leaders must make high-stakes decisions in complex situations, building the organization of tomorrow while addressing the needs of today.

When leaders impact enterprise-wide outcomes, things change. Senior leaders of functions, business units, divisions, and regions need big-picture thinking as they navigate competing priorities in alignment with others on the senior leadership team. Their leadership success is essential to the success of the entire organization.

“A great opportunity to slow down, take a step back, and be thoughtful about your performance as a leader. It enabled me to reflect on the ways in which I drive positive outcomes on my team and the ways in which my behavior hinders the overall success of the team — and figure out the corrective behaviors needed to drive more positive outcomes.”

A High-Impact Senior Leadership Training Program That Hones Executive Skills to Handle Today’s Organizational Challenges

When navigating complex global trends, unpredictable economic forces, and rapidly changing business cycles, senior leaders need more than just a list of competencies to succeed. They need proven, holistic senior leadership development that’s built around the real challenges they face:

  • Balancing people and task demands to create needed strategies and structures, build a future talent pipeline, and transition into new responsibilities — all at the same time
  • Working to lead up and across the enterprise to create new growth opportunities, improve cross-functional processes, and leverage limited resources
  • Enhancing personal growth to build credibility as a senior leader and become more aware of how behaviors impact others

What Participants Learn in Our Senior Leader Training, Leading for Organizational Impact

As a result of attending this prestigious, world-renowned senior leader training, participants will be able to:

  • Balance tactical concerns with strategic priorities to improve decision-making and respond to market forces
  • Shape organizational outcomes and leadership culture while taking on a broader scope of responsibility
  • Work more effectively across boundaries to build strategic ties and gain new perspectives
  • Deepen self‐awareness to enhance credibility, influence, and effectiveness on senior teams
  • Identify the behaviors required to inspire others and align people to organizational outcomes

Why Our Organizational Impact Program for Executives?

Leading for Organizational Impact is more than a one-week training program for senior leaders. It’s a developmental journey that offers the insights, tools, and support they need to meet these challenges successfully. 

The heart of this journey is The Looking Glass® Experience: a research-driven business simulation that serves as a live case study of relational leadership. The Looking Glass, Inc.® simulation provides hands-on learning, critical skills practice, and a clear view of how individual leaders work across boundaries, adopt a strategic perspective, and impact organizational outcomes. While other simulations prime leaders for the business cases of the past, ours prepares them to face the business challenges of the future — with the executive mindsets, skillsets, and tools they will need to successfully navigate the road ahead. In addition to The Looking Glass® Experience, this senior leader training also provides:

  • Customized 360-degree assessment and individualized executive coaching that offer personalized feedback and support for each participant
  • Research-based content focusing on the issues that matter most
  • A 3-month post-program assessment to ensure development continues
  • Ongoing support through our exclusive alumni community

“The ecosystem of co-participants who were senior executives from varied industries and geographies, coupled with a highly experienced faculty, a safe zone setup to forego inhibitions and open myself to give and receive feedback, all made a huge personal impact on me, in my leadership learning journey with CCL.”

Sanjay Chintalapalli

Sr. Director of Technology
Gilbarco Veeder Root

“I came into this program expecting it to be more academic in nature, but instead it was more reflective. I was taught important leadership skills, given an opportunity to practice them, received feedback on how I did, and then was given time to practice it again. All while receiving time to reflect on what I had learned. This approach has helped me retain the information and see tangible ways to take it back to my organization. I also saw immediate growth!

Lindsay Gattis

Regional Marketing Director

“There are always ways to improve yourself as a leader, but many times we don’t have direction of where to go to have a greater impact on our employees and the overall organization. CCL and the LOI program help you define your own route through data collection, promotion of self-reflection, and countless other ways. They help you lay out a way to to make incremental steps toward your specific goal.”
