WHAT IS IT?

Best Workplace Solutions’ MODEL Leader program is a direct, hands-on, and immersive leadership training series that exposes attendees to a full scope of leadership principles ranging from the traditional to the cutting-edge.  Participants learn leadership theories, share best practices, and discuss real-world issues with their peers. The interactive series includes many case-study applications where the group works together to develop practical and collaborative solutions to problematic process and people issues.  Each participant receives a MODEL Leader program book with valuable reference materials and tools. Throughout the program, participants build a professional development plan to help them actively transfer and integrate new behaviors into their leadership roles.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

“I found the MODEL Leader curriculum to be an appropriate blend of current topics important for leaders at all reporting and experience levels. The delivery was kept lively through a mix of lecture, real-life examples, video, audience participation, break-out sessions and participant presentation.  Although the curriculum was highly applicable to our training needs, the presentation of the material is what made this an exceptional program. They relay the course materials in an overwhelmingly effective manner through their knowledgeable, dynamic, honest, open and thoughtful approach.  There were several instances where employee growth was occurring in front of your eyes as people stepped out of themselves.  Lastly, the program gave an opportunity for cross-functional exposure at a different level that opened up the door to improved relationships.” –Jeff P., Director of Operations
