Elevate Your Leadership

and Take Your Company to New Levels

Learn How Our Completely Redesigned Leadership Development Cohorts

Will Equip You and Your Organization to Successfully Face

The Challenges, Opportunities and Tough Decisions That Lie Ahead

Making tough decisions takes more than knowing what to do,

it takes knowing what to be.

These two new cutting-edge peer-leadership labs are designed to give you the sustainable competitive advantage you need to outperform in your industry – and maintain success in a VUCA world.

To accomplish what matters most, you must be effective at both leading people and managing the things that matter. While effective management is a science that can be effectively learned and applied with tools that are readily acquired and freely available, leadership must be developed. There are no shortcuts, no easy recipes, and no guarantees. You cannot make people into leaders by offering them training. You must cultivate the necessary thinking, provide the requisite experience and give people, who have what it takes the opportunity to grow, flourish and realize their full potential.

Our CEOs Without Boundaries and Rising Leaders Cohorts provide leadership support and resources for personal and professional development unlike anything you will find anywhere else.

• Our work in developing current and future leaders is steeped in the principles that have made ALPS Leadership successful in helping leaders grow themselves and their organizations for more than 15 years.
• We firmly believe that it is the organization that makes the leader successful, not the other way around. It is with this in mind that our clients understand what must be accomplished and learn what it takes to accomplish what matters most.
• Our approach to leadership focuses on experiential learning in cohorts. We create a carefully designed and crafted environment where otherwise powerfully successful people can feel safe to put down their armor and experience and become vulnerable to their own sense of curiosity – and free to be challenged and challenge others.
• By combining theoretical expertise with hard-earned experience, the members of our cohorts are challenged to grow by providing a safe place to have their assumptions questioned, to vet their decisions and to be held accountable to the risks they must undertake in order to perform exceptionally.

The only way to become a better leader is to become a better person.

To facilitate this high-impact, highly effective learning and growth, we offer two distinct program levels:

CEOs Without Boundaries – (CWOB) Designed for typically larger, established and relatively complex organizations where leadership is critical to sustainable success and growth. The learning focus is on developing personal leadership competencies, cultivating organizational performance, strategic problem solving, execution, and implementing smart systems. The value of the perspective gained by members of these cohorts is enhanced by seeking and maintaining diversity in terms of personal and professional background, cultural orientation, markets in which they do business as well as age, race and gender. Our programs are designed to build trusting, productive working relationships that extend beyond the work we do together – to increase the effectiveness of leaders and enhance the quality of their lives. The experience includes periodic in-person events and annual destination retreats that strengthen the bonds and elevate the spirit of cohort members. These groups are truly without boundaries.

Rising Leaders Lab ­– (RLL) Designed for CEOs of Emerging Companies, Solopreneurs, Small Business Owners and Key Leaders of Larger Companies – balancing the need for developing exceptional leadership and the need to manage high performance through effective execution and by establishing smart systems and processes. These groups also thrive by ensuring the same kind of human diversity as our CWOB cohorts, but without the same time and travel commitments and cost commitments. Members of these cohorts raise the level of their organization’s performance by elevating the level of their leadership.

New for 2023

Announcing the Addition of

Two New Leadership Cohorts

 

Family Business Leadership Cohort

Family dynamics impact every level of even the most successful “family-owned and operated” companies. Some of the issues are deeply emotional interpersonal issues that require individual and group psychotherapy to address appropriately. We DO NOT provide clinical therapy. Our experience working with family-operated businesses gives us objective and actionable insight into how to balance business needs effectively with personal issues and needs to elevate overall performance and cultivate more joy.

The broader issues and resulting dysfunction that are all too common in family businesses are no different than that of any organization. Every company succeeds for the same two reasons. First, is that the things necessary to manage are attended to appropriately. Second, people cannot be managed and expected to perform to their full potential. In organizations, performance is cultivated by having competent leadership.

A sustainably successful organization requires strong leadership to create a work culture and environment that supports high performance and accomplishing results that matter most. (Problems often exist when family members do not perform at a high level – causing strain among family members – and resentment and resignation among other employees.)

The balance of effectively managing things and leading people is the core of ALPS Leadership’s offerings and expertise. We provide resources to help leaders develop themselves into competent managers by understanding what matters most and prioritizing and delegating to ensure that they are. More importantly, we help our clients develop themselves into effective leaders of others – and of themselves, ensuring that the organization’s culture supports all the stakeholders, including family, employees, suppliers, and customers.

The program includes 10 Cohort Sessions consisting of vetted professionals selected based on meeting our 3-C criteria through a mutual interview process. These are virtual sessions with between 8 and 12 members that meet monthly on Zoom for 2 ½ hours.

Coaches Leadership Cohorts

Just as doctors need other doctors to care for them, educators need teachers to train them, coaches need coaches to coach them to perform to their fullest potential. Issues facing coaches range from feeling isolated to building, managing, and maintaining their practices to be profitable and sustainable, having a sounding board where they can safely bounce ideas and address challenges and issues. And they also benefit from being privately coached to help keep them sharp, productive, focused, and challenged. Through our Cohorts, we provide coaches with a community of like-minded people who understand and can support them while providing a safe environment to bring their challenges. And we support the work of the Cohort with private coaching for business and self-leadership.

The program includes 10 Cohort Sessions consisting of vetted professionals selected based on meeting our 3-C criteria through a mutual interview process. These are virtual sessions with between 8 and 12 members that meet monthly on Zoom for 2 ½ hours.

The Annual Tuition and includes full engagement in the Cohort and ten 45-minute private coaching sessions during scheduled office hours and are conducted over Zoom.
