Real Leaders
Whole leader development is both personal and professional. The program will push you to new developmental edges for your sake and the sake of others around you. The participants are chosen based on the potential they bring as competent and effective leaders, and more importantly, for their willingness to edit themselves and to serve others. Every leader engages in a variety of dialogues and coaching partnerships to connect with, learn from, challenge and support every other participant. These leaders will become experts in the leadership development field, and will learn to lead others well.
Rigorous Studies
The WiLD Executive Fellows Program is taught and facilitated by leading scholars and practitioners in the fields of Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Whole Leader Development. Building deeper knowledge and discernment of the research and theories behind topics like motivation, personality, leader effectiveness, efficacy, developmental readiness, team functioning, character formation, learning agility, and organizational culture and change takes a leader from a practical level of understanding, to a level of mastery that will bring about long lasting organizational and leader transformation.
Intentional Development
The Executive Fellows Program takes participants on a deeper journey into the science behind leading well and development others, and makes that science approachable and accessible for real-time development - theory in practice. The WiLD Toolkit is the research-based system that provides the framework. Integrated through the nine-day program, the 10 assessments in the WiLD Toolkit provide an intentional way for the theory and science to come to life in the experience of a leader, and provides a pathway to take forward long after participants finish the program.
