The Emerging Leader Program Series
The Emerging Leader program series is a leadership development series for emerging leaders—men and women who are helping to lead their organizations into the future. Participants who attend these programs come from diverse jobs and functions. They are managers, professional and technical people taking the initiative to meet the changing needs of customers across the franchise system. They all have one common goal-to develop their leadership potential.
The Emerging Leader series of programs help leaders develop the capacity to take on the challenges and opportunities at all levels of the organization. Whether you are leading a work group in a small company or mastering change in a large global organization, you will learn about best practices that provide information for benchmarking and application in your own leadership approach. Programs are not sequential, and participants may take individual programs or the series of program.
Does your organization face a leadership challenge? Leadership experts agree upon a common issue: oOne of the scarcest resources is leadership talent capable of renewing organizations to succeed in tomorrow's world. More and more companies are responding to the need to grow and nurture leaders who can conceive a visible future and lead their organization to competitive advantage in a world of rapid change.
