Leadership Development for Senior-Level Leaders
Acceleration is focused on providing Senior-Level leaders with the behaviours and interpersonal capabilities critical for developing the strategic and operational efficiencies that create a lasting leadership legacy throughout an organization. Acceleration is designed for ‘Leaders of Leaders’.
Accelerated 360 Assessments
The MCE 360 Degree Feedback Assessment is a feedback process designed to help you enhance your leadership competencies. It focuses on 13 leadership competencies and identifies behaviours that have been identified as leading to success at the senior level of organizations.
Accelerated Coaching
Your coach will be the facilitator for the training part of the program. This will ensure alignment between your coaching discussions and the content of the training days. You will also be assigned an Accountability Coach - one of your participant peers to support and guide you during the training days portion of the program. This Accountability Coach will be assigned by the Coach/Facilitator for the program.
Accelerated Training
MCE will review the collective results of the participants. This will allow MCE to determine themes arising from the 360 Degree Feedback and the training will be customized to these themes.
