What is the LeaderShape?
The LeaderShape is a highly interactive, energizing,
six-day leadership development experience designed to help
participants learn to lead with integrity.
What will I learn from the program?
Program content reflects key leadership issues: vision,
partnerships, integrity, and results. While at the
Institute, students learn to:
- Work in high-performance teams
- Practice decision-making for ethical dilemmas
- Learn to deal with change
- Clarify personal values and standards
- Understand and respect the values of other individuals
Participants also learn the importance of trust,
communication, and group-problem solving through the Team
Challenge Course.
What happens at the LeaderShape?
LeaderShape is comprised of approximately 60 students.
Most of the interactive program is conducted in a large
group called the Learning Community, with further discussion
and teambuilding occurring in family clusters (groups of
about 10-12 students). In family clusters, students are
supported and challenged to develop new skills and attitudes
in a safe environment. Each family cluster is lead by a
cluster facilitator, a professional who serves as a
resource, catalyst, facilitator, and role model for the
participants.
How will I benefit from attending?
LeaderShape was named an “exemplary program” by the W.K.
Kellogg Foundation and highlighted in Leadership in the
Making: Impact and Insights From Leadership Development
Programs in US Colleges and Universities (1999). The
experience prepares students to change their worlds by
providing the tools needed to achieve new insights, improve
relationships, build more effective teams, and ultimately
enhance society.
