Many leadership development programs draw on case studies and inspiring stories of leaders as learning tools, but IMD’s High Performance Leadership takes a unique approach. In this program, YOU are the case study.
Since 2002, High Performance Leadership has taken thousands of executives on a transformational journey of self-discovery that has enabled them to play to win instead of playing not to lose.
Over six days, you will work on yourself, your leadership style, your vision, and your impact on your team and organization. By exploring your unique leadership roots and patterns, you will identify the strengths that you can leverage and learn to let go of what is holding you back. You will discover how to focus your mind for success and create a trusting environment that allows others to develop their potential because they feel safe to be creative, experiment, and take risks.
You will learn the techniques that successful business leaders, world-class athletes, musicians, and artists rely on to consistently achieve great results. In addition, you will explore the principles of hostage negotiation and their application to leadership, so that you understand how to avoid being a psychological hostage to anything or anyone – including yourself – again. At the end of the program, you will have the keys to unlock your full potential and become the leader you want to be.
