Leadership
theories abound. Many are difficult to process and even more
confusing to put into practice. AT WVLI the professional staff
has studied the many theorists and, as well, utilized their
best creative thinking to hone a stimulating over-all program.
Individualized
coaching is at the core of the WVLI experience. Further explanations
regarding this facet of the program may be found in the Program
Design Document. That document also details the relationship
between the participant, her manager and her mentor.
The
content of the eleven day-long workshops is the focus. Accelerated
learning is used to strengthen each participant's leadership
competencies. Guest speakers, who are current executive women,
enhance many sessions, by sharing their experiences in becoming
more effective leaders.
The
workshops include a variety of training methodologies including
case studies, hands-on practice and group presentations.
