The Leadership Challenge® Public Workshop Is Coming to Boston

Concord Growth Systems announces the scheduling of the first public offering of the award winning Leadership Challenge® Workshop in Boston.

CHICAGO, IL (PRWEB) March 8, 2007 -- Concord Growth Systems (CGS) an authorized affiliate for the John Wiley/Pfeiffer publishing company, is pleased to announce its offering of The Leadership Challenge Workshop® in Boston, beginning April 17. The workshop is based upon the award winning, million selling book of the same title by authors Jim Kouzes, and Barry Posner.

First begun in 1983, The Leadership Challenge® has been experienced by more than 250,0000 leaders around the globe, with over one million individuals providing input into a highly acclaimed online assessment tool known as the Leadership Practices Inventory, or LPI. The initial exhaustive research by Kouzes & Posner, both professors at Santa Clara University at the time, asked a series of questions of ordinary leaders worldwide about their personal best experiences in leadership. The analysis of those findings led them to formulate The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, which both the book and the workshop revolve around.

"Leaders are made not born," so say the authors, and our experience with individuals participating in the workshops has borne that out. The work has proved that leadership is learnable, and that individuals who experience the programs do in fact tangibly increase their effectiveness as leaders.

The workshop experience is more than a training event. "In many cases individuals talk about how it changed their lives. It's a bold statement, we know, but we've watched it happen time after time, leader after leader," say the authors, so affirmed by Rich Chiero, president of CGS. Designed for mid to upper managers, business owners, and aspiring leaders from all walks of life, the workshop starts the morning of Tuesday, the 17th of April, running two full days. Immediately following is the Facilitator Training workshop, which runs the 19th and 20th, and is designed for internal organizational trainers and independent consultants.
