The need to develop the next generation of world-class business leaders is one that is acknowledged by society, the media and executives everywhere. The demands of leading in today's complex business environment require more than simply adopting a set of prescribed traits and talents.
The Signature Executive Program offers a unique and engaging means of transferring leadership experience to the next generation of business leaders. Open only to high potential individuals nominated by senior leadership in their organizations, the Institute brings together world-class business minds from Fortune 500 companies and successful leading-edge organizations to interact with a selected class of participants. This "for-leaders by-leaders" executive education program was designed by leading business minds to develop the people and talent they most need to support the continued success of their organizations. It offers a unique opportunity because it asks for a unique commitment: a written pledge from both the participating individual and a senior on-the-job mentor in the sponsoring organization.
