Leadership Challenge Program


“The Leadership Challenge Program - A Practical Guide to Success”

is a custom-designed course for your new supervisors who possess the potential to lead and have the capacity for upward mobility. Realizing that the fundamental difference between successful and unsuccessful companies is effective leadership, our goal is to provide a practical leadership guide to success for these hard charging employees.


Using active learning and assessment tools, this course focuses on:

Communication skills: Our emphasis is on increasing the effectiveness of communication and leadership skills, both internal and external to your organization. This includes listening as an active skill.

Leadership skills: How to motivate others; consensus-building; leading a team; decision making, as well as interpersonal relationship building and personal leadership style preferences.

Performance feedback and counseling skills: Practical tools and proven secrets to success that will enhance employee relationships and retention within your company.


Outcomes of this training:

  • Enhanced communication skills that will make a difference in your organization
  • Your middle managers will become more confident in dealing with challenging situations, building trust through new leadership skills, and driving for stakeholder success. They will learn to influence and negotiate, and team and collaborate.
  • Course completion will also enhance internal and external relationships, foster effective communication, and help you attract, develop, and retain talent.

CEOs and high-level executives have identified two key needs in business management today: Teaching young professionals the basics of leadership, communication skills, and workplace etiquette; and recruiting and retaining outstanding employees. 

The Department of Labor has also identified that approximately 70 percent of employees leave a company because of their experience with their boss, not because of salary or other tangible benefits. Many times, poor leadership and communication skills are responsible.

Further, the cost of replacing the average employee is 150 percent of their annual salary and benefits. The price of losing star performers is exponentially greater.  This course tackles these problems and will make your company stronger.

Depending on the needs of an organization and/or the number of attendees, this customized training program can be delivered from 1 to 5 days for up to 20 employees.
