Emerging Leaders
Don’t wait to be promoted, prepare yourself now
Engaging and research-backed virtual leadership training that’s crafted for lasting impact and isn’t limited by the constraints of a classroom.
No matter the intelligence, experience, or drive, the same 4 core skills are important for every leader at every level. We call them the Fundamental 4: self-awareness, learning agility, influence, and communication.
Ideal for emerging leaders with no direct reports but on the path to leadership in the next 12 to 18 months, frontline managers who have been in their role for 6 to 12 months, or leaders with 3 to 5 years of experience leading others, this leadership skills training can equip your people with the fundamental leadership skills they need to succeed.
The Fundamental 4 have endured the test of time and are the basis for the Lead 4 Success program, where participants immerse themselves in development, adapt these skills to their own leadership contexts, participate with peers in learning, and share ideas to apply to their leadership lessons to their real world.
