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.

Students at Leadershape 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.
