Mid Career Leadership Programs

Build your succession pipeline by developing mid career leaders and delivering business results.

"We partnered with Wronski Associates to develop and deliver the LEAD IT program aimed at developing the leadership capabilities of mid-career IT leaders. Since it's beginning in Boston, this program is now delivered globally and is consistently rated highly by the attendees and their managers." - Allan Hackney – SVP CIO John Hancock
As employees gain more experience, business education and leadership development programs available to them often become increasingly theoretical. Perhaps this results from the fact that many of the leading providers for these types of programs are the corporate education departments of top business schools. Instructors are often professors who have made their careers in research - not in running and leading a business.

We distinguish ourselves from these providers by taking a more practical approach. We introduce research and theory where appropriate, but our focus is on the real world and we concentrate on how to apply the concepts on a day-to-day basis. We recognize that the vast majority of an individual’s personal development occurs on the job and our custom solutions are designed to compliment, accelerate and support that growth process.
