Senior Leadership Training: Leading for Organizational Impact

When navigating constant disruption, unpredictable economic forces, decision fatigue, and enterprise-wide complexity, senior leaders need more than just a list of competencies to succeed.

They need proven, holistic, personalized senior leader development designed specifically for the challenges faced at this level, with a real business simulation, independent measurement, and sustained post-program support built in. This helps them:

• Create systemic strategies and structures to address goals and balance tensions
• Build credibility and extend influence as senior organizational leaders
• Lead successfully and think strategically during tense and complex situations
• Navigate the transition to a new role with larger, organization-wide impacts
• Manage themselves and inspire others with confidence

This program is designed to address the unique challenges experienced by those who are leading the function at their organizations: Senior leaders of business units, departments, divisions, or regions.

As a result of attending this prestigious, evidence-based senior leadership course, participants will be able to:

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

More than just a 5-day training program for senior leaders, Leading for Organizational Impact offers a highly personalized development journey that builds critical capabilities for leading strategically amid constant disruption.

The heart of this journey is The Looking Glass, Inc.® Experience: a research-driven business simulation that serves as a live case study in 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 senior leaders for the business cases of the past, ours prepares them to face the leadership challenges of the future — with the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets needed to navigate ambiguity, complexity, and competing priorities.

Preparing a Foundation for Lasting Impact

In the 3 months leading up to the 5-day program intensive, participants begin the journey by engaging in required online coursework. This includes inviting their 360-degree feedback raters, taking their self-assessments, and meeting with an executive coach to debrief their assessment results.

Completion of these activities is required for continuation into later phases, and ensures maximum benefits from the program.
