New and emerging leaders require unique focus as they begin their leadership journey. In developing a program for over 5,000 first-line leaders, BNSF created a two-day live, in-person program that included 1:1 coaching, board simulation, team-based coaching, and various collaborative workshop activities. Participants in the program reported sharper decision-making skills, a deeper understanding of business systems, refined interpersonal skills, and the ability to lead more effectively.

Mid-level leaders within an organization also need an environment to grow their leadership skills. When The American College Wealth Management team was looking to start a new designation for 1,000 financial planning professionals, they implemented a program that had 5 individual simulations that contained over 500 pieces of multimedia content. The program included The Regis Company’s Advanced Learning IntelligenceTM (ALI) which allowed faculty to identify and improve performance with individual learning concepts and content areas.

Senior leaders set the tone of leadership for an organization. Abbott’s Global Leader Program was designed as a two-week intensive learning program targeting more than 30 senior leaders that included market dynamics simulations, leadership principle workshops, and detailed scenario planning. Abbott’s leaders were also able to focus on organizational design and competitive analysis during this blended learning program.
