What is the Leadership Xcelerator™ Program? Program?
Expectations of leaders today have dramatically evolved. There is clear demand for leaders to be more human-centric, authentic, empathetic, and adaptive.
But this type of leader is not the norm, particularly in front-line management. New and emerging leaders, and many of the current human resource and management development approaches, do not address the barriers that are holding leaders back today.
