The need to be lead ambitiously, adaptively, and accountably is no longer an option. The current competitive landscape is too unforgiving. The requirement to deliver fully on shareholder value is too urgent.

However, old problems persist.

• How can I reverse my department?s growing morale problem?

• What can I do to ease the fear and resistance to the upcoming changes?

• How can I become effective in my people-management skills as I am in my ?real? work?

On Leadership is considered by many CEOs as a required developmental seminar for all mid- to high-level managers and executives. Sessions are targeted to managers, to executives, and to physician executives. In fact, over 45,000 managers and executives?including CEOs of some of the U.S.'s largest corporations?have taken part in past On Leadership sessions. These leaders, their companies, and the business press continually rank the program as one of the most important executive-education opportunities available today.

Before the seminar, we ask participants to prepare a short ?live? case based on a current workplace dilemma. Participants probe these cases during the seminar week in groups of six or seven led by a highly trained Levinson faculty member who is either a psychologist or psychiatrist. In the groups, participants apply a unique problem-solving model based upon the concepts presented in the morning lectures. The small-group sessions are extremely powerful learning forums. Many participants consider them and the seminar?s one-on-one coaching sessions to be the most valuable career-development experiences they have ever had.
