Rise Above: Executive Leadership Development Levels
You have been fortunate to achieve a high degree of success as a values-driven leader, and now you want to join with other like-minded scholars and executives to take your leadership to the next level. You want to develop the knowledge, skills, perspectives, and networks necessary to lead at the top of your organization and make a significant and enduring contribution through your life and work.
At the Center for Values-Driven Leadership, our mission is to help values-driven leaders develop themselves and others, build flourishing companies, and transform business and society. We do this by expanding their capacity to lead boldly at four levels:
Personally: Grow as a values-driven leader.
Great leaders are great learners. They are on a continuous journey to dig deeper and understand themselves, what they value, and the impact they want to make in the world. The CVDL comes alongside leaders like you with a variety of resources to help you grow and thrive as a leader. Whether you’re interested in a 40-minute exercise you can do on your own, a customized leadership development plan, executive education offerings, or our doctoral program for senior executives, we create exceptional learning environments where transformative personal growth can occur.
Interpersonally: Develop great people and teams
Great leaders are great developers of people. They multiply their impact by investing significant time and energy in helping others to learn, grow, develop, and succeed. Through our online resources, executive education offerings, custom solutions, and executive doctoral program, we help you elevate your capacity to develop people and leverage the power of high-performing executive teams.
Organizationally: Build flourishing companies
Great leaders build great companies, and great companies don’t just perform well on the stock market or out-pace the competition: they’re loved by their employees and customers, embraced by their community, and on track to long-term, sustainable success. The CVDL’s Senior Executive Roundtables, publications, executive education offerings, consulting services, and executive doctoral program equip you to build thriving organizations. We help companies expand their rate of innovation, grow employee engagement, identify strategies that win in the global marketplace, and contribute to the health and sustainability of the planet.
Globally: Transform business and society
We engage with executives who think big, are game-changers in their industry, solve intractable problems, and shape the global conversation. Our resources, publications and programs challenge executives to ask difficult questions, push for better solutions, and make a meaningful and enduring contribution to academia, their industry, and the world in which we live and work. Together with our students, graduates, and partners, we are committed to making the world a better place: one leader, one company, one revolutionary idea at a time.
Consider for a moment the best leaders with whom you’ve ever worked. Were they, in small or big ways, masters of these four levels of leadership? No doubt they were, because the research shows that these factors are essential to become an inspiring, emotionally intelligent, strategically effective, values-driven leader. Leaders like these rise above business as usual – because there’s nothing usual about them. They are truly exceptional.
