The enduring principles about human behavior taught in The Levinson Institute’s On Leadership seminar have created wise managers and successful change leaders for four decades.  In On Leadership, participants learn to successfully navigate people problems and harness the intrinsic motivation and enthusiasm of their teams.  They also learn how to capture the energy released during organizational change and convert it into a desire for new and exciting challenges. 

The five-day course builds a straightforward model and immediately useful tools, based on topics such as what makes people tick; the psychological contract; the nature of accountability; managing stress, mastering organizational change; the heart, mind, and soul of a leader; and leading under fire.  Seminar instructors use cutting-edge teaching methods to ensure relevance, active learning, and rapid skill development.

Participants present “live” interpersonal cases, which they bring from their current workplace.  They explore, diagnose, and resolve these dilemmas in groups of six or seven (under the guidance of a skilled consultant) applying a unique problem-solving model based upon the concepts presented in the seminar's lectures.  The small-group sessions are the forum in which all the learning is converted into sustainable-and-practical leadership behaviors.  These learning vehicles, together with the seminar’s one-on-one coaching sessions, are deemed by participants to be some of the most valuable career-development experiences they have ever had.
