The Leadership Challenge is an evidence-based leadership development model that is backed by over 30 years of thorough research by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner. Kouzes and Posner quickly realized that leadership is not about personality, but about behavior - an observable set of skills and abilities.

The Leadership Challenge program turns the abstract concept of leadership into easy-to-grasp practices and behaviors that can be learned by anyone willing to step up and accept the challenge to lead. These behaviors are measured and supported by the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) - one of the most widely used leadership assessment instruments in the world - and will be used to help guide you through your leadership development journey.

Target Audience: The Leadership Challenge is intended for individuals in a leadership role who have attended and successfully completed the Leadership Training Camp.

Enrollment: Due to limited space and frequency, enrollment for The Leadership Challenge is by nomination only.

Overview: Learn where you are in your personal leadership journey (based on LPI results):

• How you see yourself.
• How others view you.
• What you can do to improve your effectiveness.

Build meaningful relationships while mobilizing others to make extraordinary things happen.

Experience: During the two-day workshop you will become deeply familiar with the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. You will leave with a greater appreciation for yourself, your colleagues, and those you lead. Over the next six months you will fine tune your leadership best - guided by personalized feedback and coaching - and go through a unique leadership development journey. The culmination of this six month program is a graduation ceremony where successes are shared and celebrated.

Program Duration: The Leadership Challenge is a six month program consisting of:

• One 2-Day Workshop at the Monterey Park Learning Center.
• One Virtual Coaching Session.
• One Webinar.
• Mentor Meetings and Discussions.
• Graduation.
