ASPIRE Leaders Academy
Retention, engagement, efficiency and effectiveness. Attributes of successful companies. But leadership is the ‘speed governor’ that determines how much of these you have in your organization. It is impossible for an organization to be more innovative, engaged, or productive than its leaders.
The newly-formed ASPIRE Leaders Academy accelerates development of leadership at every level, increasing your Center’s productivity and enhancing your ability to motivate and retain the best people.
The Leaders Academy: Three ‘Tracks’
Track I—‘The Master Class’
For Inspiring Leaders (Center Heads/GMs/CEOs)
‘It’s lonely at the top.’ As the senior leader in your organization, where can you go for personal/professional development?
Every other month the ASPIRE Leaders Academy ‘Master Class’ will address a crucial aspect of leadership, productivity, and/or organization effectiveness. These one-day sessions with you and a few your direct reports could give you the idea or the spark you have been looking for—and give you and your colleagues some things worth talking about and applying back at work.
‘The Master Class’ is a series of six one-day (10:00 to 16:00) sessions every other month devoted to an important aspect of leadership, productivity-improvement and/or business development. Intended for:
- Center Heads/CEOs/GMs
- Direct Reports/VPs
- Other selected Managers you want to experience a session

For Empowering Leaders (HR Leads)
