Leadership at the Peak is an opportunity for senior-most leaders to delve into the specific and complex challenges of leading at the top. The program focuses on key executive skills, such as creating and articulating a vision, executive image, developing a leadership and talent strategy aligned with business strategy, leading beyond organizational boundaries, communication, influence, and self-awareness. In addition to developing these skills, participants are provided with a comprehensive view of leadership that enables them to handle the pressures and demands of enterprise-level leadership. Participants are able to link leadership behaviors, perception, and best practices with executive image, vision, and personal health. The program is designed to help senior leaders begin behavioral changes that have long-term career value while interacting with other participants to broaden their network of executive colleagues.
