Three-year Cycle of Classes and Work

The School for Leadership curriculum consists of three annual cycles of offerings. During the first cycle, participants focus on mastering and applying the distinctions in their own leadership. During the second cycle, participants shift their focus to coaching others as they master and apply the distinctions. Finally, during the third cycle, participating leaders focus on the ability to create and transfer the distinctions to others.

In each cycle:

• Foundations of Transformational Leadership, a five-day residential

  A five-day program that grounds participants in the fundamental distinctions of grassroots transformational leadership. Participant leaders will gather from around the world to work directly with faculty and coaches.

• Transformational Leadership in Action, a practicum
