Business leaders agree, tomorrow’s top challenges are most effectively met by a well-developed leadership pipeline— and companies that invest in shaping their future leaders earn valuable results. In this distinctive program, 17 Stanford faculty members combine with executive coaching and a back-on-the-job window to help organizations develop the leadership skills and business acumen of their prized, on-the-rise managers. Designed for managers soon moving into more senior leadership roles, this program hones the skills that are critical to the success of this transition. It builds a broad, long-term perspective among participants and develops young leaders to become more strategic in blending functional management tactics into the organization’s overall business strategy.
The program features two on-campus modules bracketing a five-month, back-on-the job window. Module 1 focuses on the fundamentals of Senior Management and works to build a general management perspective. During Module 1, the Faculty Directors work with coaches from The Continuous Learning Group and apply a respected methodology to assess each Participant’s leadership skills. From this assessment, the Faculty Directors and executive coaches help develop and employ customized leadership goals and actions plans. Following Module 1, Participants are back-on-the-job for five months, applying their action plan and working on their goals. Participants return to Stanford for Module 2. The Module 2 curriculum is designed to enhance strategic thinking, leadership skills, and interpersonal skills, helping Participants to be more effective leaders and change agents. During Module 2, Participants meet with with the Faculty Directors and their coach and draw from their on-the-job experiences as they review their progress and set future goals. Among many things, Participants leave the program with insight on how they are perceived as leaders in their organizations and with a customized action plan to suit their own leadership goals.
