Launching the BLG Leadership Academy

Posted by Samuel B. Bacharach on Nov 6, 2012

I’m excited to share with you BLG’s most recent development, we are launching the BLG Leadership Academy here in New York this coming January.  The Academy is a fully integrated, cumulative program that trains individuals in the skills of pragmatic leadership.

As I’ve maintained, leadership is not just about vision or personality.  Leadership is about getting things done and moving agendas forward. Leadership is about engaging teams and enhancing and coaching others.  The BLG Academy is committed to that end, to providing skills you need to execute your strategic vision.

Learn more about the BLG Leadership Academy here, or contact us for more information.

BLG LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Developing Pragmatic Leaders
http://www.ilr.cornell.edu/iws/blg/

Our approach and program

The BLG Leadership Academy is a fully integrated, cumulative program that trains individuals in the skills of pragmatic leadership. The program is based on over thirty years of sound academic research and real-world application, bridging the gap between academia and the world of practice.

The final test of leadership is results. A leader needs to execute a strategic vision using political and managerial competence: the ability to mobilize, negotiate, engage, and coach. These skills can be acquired, and are independent of charisma and personality.

The BLG Leadership Academy is comprised of four courses, each addressing a core leadership competency. All courses incorporate instruction, case studies, and exercises relevant to participants’ managerial or supervisory experience.

Who should attend

The BLG Leadership Academy is intended for managers and functional specialists with 5-7 years of supervisory or managerial experience. It is designed for individuals with excellent prospects for leadership within their organizations.

Leading for Change and Execution

Leadership is about execution, not just vision or personality. It involves...

• Overcoming resistance and moving beyond silos
• Getting things done and moving agendas
• Moving from ideas to implementation
• Being agile in a world of uncertainty
• Networking and sharing knowledge
• Engaging and enhancing the capacity of your teams
