Drake's Leading Others program is an open-enrollment program designed for mid- to senior-level leaders seeking transformational and accelerated growth.

Drake's Executive program understands how important it is to have practical and actionable professional development resources. Drake provides facilitators and executive coaches, who are experts in their fields, the opportunity to work directly with program participants, helping them discover their unique strengths while creating practical strategies for leading change in the workplace. With over 100 hours of orchestrated learning, participants are paired with executive coaches, maximizing learning and development opportunities while minimizing time away from the office.

Who Should Attend?

Leading Others has been specifically designed for leaders in mid-to senior-level leadership roles who are charged with creating organizational value. Alongside their executive coach, participants will develop both an actionable leadership development plan and a comprehensive 1-3 year business plan, leveraging tools and techniques designed to strengthen areas of opportunity and capitalize key strengths.

The Format

Leading Others is a 12-month process in which learning is enhanced through collaboration with executive coaches and implemented immediately back at the office. Through a combination of seven individual executive coaching sessions, small group discussions, and three weeks of highly interactive in-person classes, participants strategically move through the four program components: Leader Readiness, Leader Development, Organizational Performance, and Leader Sustainability.
