Leaders on the fast track have a clear advantage when they have an authentic leadership foundation, strengthened from the inside out — and when they know how to deliver the results that global organizations need.
In five invigorating days at Wharton, the High-Potential Leaders: Accelerating Your Impact program helps you build a personal foundation that can withstand the shifting pressures and adversities of leadership — and provides clear expectations, knowledge, and tools for achieving business results.
In partnership with Wharton's renowned management faculty, executive coaches, and leadership experts, you will clarify your leadership vision, enhance your strategic business skills, and translate your new insights into an action plan that defines where you — and your teams — are going, and how you will get there.
This program gives participants a deep awareness of their unique leadership styles, and a solid grounding in the strategic business skills that make or break the success of global leaders. The program begins with a benchmark from a globally normed leadership assessment. Then, with the guidance of Wharton's renowned management faculty, executive coaches, and a cohort of other accomplished high-potential leaders, participants enhance their strategic business skills and translate that knowledge into a clearly articulated action plan that defines where they — and their teams — are going, and how they will get there.
Leadership experts such as Ram Charan, Tal Ben-Shahar, and Nick Craig lead participants in exploring their crucible moments — make-or-break tests of skill and character — help them to build strategic business acumen, clarify leadership vision, design effective execution plans, and engage the hearts and minds of the people they lead.
