Generative Leadership Program: the next batch begins in September 2024
The Generative Leadership Program™ (GLP) is designed to fill the gaps in the foundations of traditional management understanding. It leverages and strengthens the competencies and skills that you already have, and gives successful executives and managers advanced skills to elevate their own performance as well as their team’s. GLP provides new paradigms, a focus on building skills through practice, and learning experientially through your actual work and life commitments.
This is an opportunity for leaders, executives, teams, and managers to create more effective organizations. Participants in GLP emerge from the experience with a permanent new way to see action and opportunity in the world and with enhanced power to produce extraordinary results.
“This course is for the practicing professional. I was promoted five times in the three years that I was studying with IGL. The program would be worth ten times its cost.”
Sam Ramji – VP
