Course Description:

'' As they ascend the management ladder, many senior executives find that the soft skills of leadership constitute their hardest challenges. Furthermore, most executives have come to rely on a familiar set of behaviors and skills. Recent data shows that top-performing leaders exhibit high emotional intelligence; they are able to adapt interpersonally and thrive in a diverse range of situations. Based on two of the Graduate School of Business’ most popular and longstanding courses, this program’s unique T-group methodology and 12-1 faculty ratio provide a highly personalized learning experience for each individual participant. In this highly interactive program, senior-level executives learn how to engage in productive interpersonal exchanges, assess the impact of their own behaviors and leadership style, and excel at creating more powerful, professional relationships in a variety of contexts.

The program is hosted at CordeValle, A Rosewood Resort, located in the foothills of California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. CordeValle is a 1,700-acre luxury retreat in a picturesque countryside setting with breathtaking views of the surrounding hillsides. The resort is an ideal setting that promotes balance in living and learning. CordeValle is located 30 minutes from the San Jose International Airport and 60 minutes from the San Francisco International Airport.

Content Overview

As a business leader, you live in an increasingly interdependent world where you need others to get your work done. As you move up the leadership hierarchy, "command and control" no longer works as the major source of power - the ability to influence others becomes the determining factor for success. This workshop focuses on improving your emotional intelligence via the T-Group (Training Group) methodology. In small, experiential group settings, you will observe how your individual behavior affects others in real time, customize your learning based on those observations, practice key leadership skills with peer feedback, and experience the power that comes from being more fully yourself while becoming more effective. Topics include influence in a direct, non-coercive way, how to address contentious work style conflicts, giving and receiving developmental feedback through "supportive confrontation", creating open, trustful, work environments. The afternoon application sessions transfer learning directly to participant’s work situation. Class size is limited to 36 participants (divided into T-groups of 12) to ensure maximized interaction with faculty and peer teams.

This unique program, hailed as nothing less than transformative, was developed from 30 years of Professor Bradford and his colleagues’ work. The program is offered as part of the Stanford MBA curriculum. Business executives now will have the opportunity to benefit from this personally rewarding experience.
