The Generative Leadership Program (GLP) program addresses what is missing in the traditional understanding of management, and provides the foundation for increased performance through new paradigms and a focus on building skills through practice.
Institute for Generative Leadership
The Institute for Generative Leadership was founded to provide leadership and management development and education that strengthens the impact of already successful leaders and managers, improves organizational performance, and produces a positive impact in the world.
This is done by learning through recurrent practice with the actual commitments, challenges and opportunities participants face in their work and lives to produce embodied pragmatic skills and the capacity to produce more powerful leadership contexts for those they lead. The approach is hands on and focused on producing results in the world, not on academic or conceptual study.
Participants include CEO’s, executives, and managers looking to expand the capacity of their organizations and teams to make bigger and more valuable promises and meet the increasing challenges of the changing organizational world. The focus is on generating results that matter, building excellence, and creating value in the world rather than reacting to current situational breakdowns.
The Institute became the home organization in 2006 for programs that have been offered since 1998 and had been under development since 1981 and offered in previous forms. These programs are:
The Generative Leadership Program (GLP) – a 3 year program of applying generative leadership learning and practices to participant organizations and creating new value; this program include personal coaching, team learning, distance learning, and three three-day conferences a year
Managing Commitment and Value (MCV) – a 4 month program guiding the participant to see how to increase personal and organizational performance through managing commitments; the program is the first four months of the GLP program, and includes personal coaching, team and distance learning, and two three-day conferences
Language of Leadership Workshop (LoL) – a 3 day workshop that introduces participants to the hands on foundations of effective action, coordination and teamwork, value creation, and managing customer satisfaction; participants will leave with new actions they can take in their work and lives, and with practices that will continue to grow their impact and skill, including managing commitments, capacity, and team conversations; the LoL is the opening conference for both the GLP and MCV programs as well
Participants can upgrade from LoL to MCV or GLP, and apply their original tuition to these programs
