Program Components
PROGRAM PREPARATION
Pre-Program Assessment
Before the program start, participants will take
the Ken Blanchard Leader Behavior Analysis II®
(LBAII®) assessment, followed by a 1-on-1 debrief
with a CEG facilitator. This assessment tool is
designed to provide managers with a measure of
their leadership style flexibility and effectiveness.
DURING THE PROGRAM
Virtual Sessions
The cohort meets for a 1-hour kick-off event
at the beginning of the program and a 3-hour
capstone event at the end of the program. In
between, there are six 3-hour learning sessions
that explore various dimensions of inclusive lead
-
ership.
Bridge Learning
"Bridge" learning assignments are interspersed
between learning sessions and they feature a
variety of self-paced assignments that provide
participants with the opportunity to extend or
deepen their learning. Bridge assignments are
designed to accommodate a variety of learning
styles and include videos, podcasts, articles,
white papers, and application challenges.
Learning Anchors (Optional)
These sessions are client-sponsored learning
events featuring internal SME champions. The
intent is to integrate training with client strategy.
Small Group / Capstone Team
Coaching Sessions
Midway through the learning journey, capstone
teams of 4 will be formed. Team composition will
reflect a variety of diversity factors, giving indi-
viduals the opportunity to benefit from each oth-
er's perspectives and experiences. During these
one-hour coaching sessions, teams will collabo-
rate to create a capstone presentation, focusing
on applying their learning to solve a current busi-
ness challenge related to inclusion that exists for
the organization. (These will be identified by key
business stakeholders before the launch of the
program.) Teams will deliver their presentations –
and make their recommendations – to the cohort
and a select audience during the capstone event.
