MSEC's Executive Leadership Program

An integrated development program for today's leaders.

Eight months of growth for today's business leaders. A legacy of difference for your organization. The Ultimate Career Experience.

Benefits with the Organization in Mind

To lead effectively, today's executives must continuously develop themselves and cultivate their relational skills. Without both self-awareness and interpersonal excellence, they cannot expect to inspire employees to give their best effort in rapidly changing work environments. At the organizational level, leaders must possess the skills and wherewithal to envision, plan, and implement frequent and often sweeping changes. They do all of this under intense scrutiny from peers, subordinates and other stakeholders. They must accomplish more with fewer resources. They are challenged with harnessing the rigor, enthusiasm and creativity of their employees. They must ensure that short-term objectives serve long-term goals. The challenge is clear: lead courageously. Take inspired and decisive action...or lose the confidence of your employees and the marketplace.

MSEC's Executive Leadership Program is a transformational experience that will deepen awareness and catalyze the development of crucial skills for executives and senior managers who demonstrate high leadership potential. The eight-month learning laboratory provides insights and breakthrough opportunities that have an immediate and significant impact on a leader's contributions to the organization. Our integrated approach challenges leaders to explore deeply their own perceptions of leadership. Program faculty support participants as they work to integrate time-honored and cutting-edge leadership practices into their own leadership styles.

The leadership development opportunity MSEC offers reflects our 70+ years of professional service to you, our members. If you think this program might be for you, please take a few moments to read about the program components. We believe each stands on its own - and is strengthened by the others. The Executive Leadership Program is facilitated by senior staff from MSEC and outside consultants who have excelled in corporate, academic, and other leadership capacities.
