| Today, more than
ever, much is expected of mid-level leadership whether
it is in business, government or education. Customers
demand highly competent service from businesses and
dramatic improvement in schools, yet adequate funding
for performance-based selection, training and development
is rare. Effective, natural leaders - people who can
successfully institute policies and lead in a way that
result top performance by their staff - are hard to
find. Until effective, natural leaders are found, the
performance of prospective and present leaders must
be improved!
We have developed two inter-related
related but independent approaches to strengthening
mid-level leadership; a BOOK for peer development and
an innovative technology-assisted PEER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
The exercises presented in the book, Powerful
Leadership Development: Bridging Theory and Practice
Using Peers and Technology, and reinforced in workshop/seminars,
the Professional
Enhancement Program (pep*),
instills fundamental leadership skills that, when practiced,
result in a more productive work climate for all. Pep*
enables aspiring leaders to actively demonstrate their
skills and then to collect real-time feedback from peers
and coaches strengthened by new applications of technology.
“Top leadership
is a performance art. Just as classes about art, music,
or sports will not make top performers, learning about
leadership alone won’t make you a successful leader.
It takes ability, coaching and targeted practice.”
-- Dr. David H. Lepard
The Professional Enhancement Program (pep*)
is a proven, customizable, 24-hour
program delivered in 2 to 4-hour increments. It is highly
effective in seminars and courses for college and university
students as well as in large and small organization
pre-service and in-service programs. Business leaders
and HR staff open to applying
solid instructional models find realistic and effective
training tools in pep*.
Pep*
is a practical and cost-effective way of assessing, developing
and strengthening leadership skills. So, make the commitment
to yourself and your organization. Use the book with a
partner or engage in ABCI’s Professional Enhancement
Program (pep*)
with a partner. There’s a real need to improve leadership
on all kinds of settings, but it can’t happen without
a solid assessment and development foundation. Merely
attending lectures and talks is not enough.
The power to become a strong leader is within your reach!
