This developmental experience will transform one’s thinking and leadership effec’veness. The unique, integrated program elements include: 6month program/process for leadership development Recognizing that thinking capaci’es can only be developed and imbedded over ’me, Transforma)ve Leadership will include intensive onsite sessions (one week in Adelaide, Australia, and one week in Aus’n, Texas), readings, and webinars over a six month period of ’me to beaer ins’ll and apply the lessons learned to an organiza’onal context. Interna)onal experience to facilitate a global perspec)ve Research shows that ‘study abroad’ programs are usually defining moments in the lives of their par’cipants, increasing their self confidence, enabling them to beaer tolerate ambiguity, and enhancing their ability to view the world and its issues from several perspec’ves. While not a typical ‘study abroad’ program or audience, Transforma)ve Leadership’s interna’onal aspect and designed interac’on with those in similar leadership roles from another country will ins’ll and enhance these new perspec’ves needed for addressing complex issues. CHALLENGES FACING ORGANIZATIONS A recent IBM survey of 1,500 organiza’onal CEO’s iden’fies the growing complexity of their environments as their number one concern, and a majority of them say their organiza’ons are not equipped to cope with this complexity. These CEOs are also concerned that their organiza)on’s next genera)on of senior leaders lack the ability to think strategically and manage change effec)vely. The method and content of tradi’onal leadership development programs will have to evolve to beaer prepare 21 st century leaders to meet these new challenges. The focus on developing leadership competencies must be expanded to develop complex thinking abili’es such as adaptability, self awareness, boundary spanning, collabora’on, and network thinking. Developing leaders with these skills will require an ongoing, itera’ve process rather than be limited to isolated events in ’me. Research has shown that leaders who expand these thinking capaci)es learn more, adapt faster, and generate more complex solu)ons than they could before. This leadership agility may be the cri’cal factor for sustainable success in the future. Interna)onal audience The program will be comprised of, and limited to, 12 middle to seniorlevel leaders in state government from Texas and 12 from South Australia. To be nominated for par’cipa’on in this program, par’cipants should meet the following criteria: poten)al for seniorlevel leadership roles, commiEed to con)nuous improvement, ability to think strategically, ability to work effec)vely in teams, and commitment to aEend and par)cipate in all sessions, webinars, and assignments. Integra)on of exposure, experience, and educa)on Topics of leading change, collabora’on, networking, leadership agility, innova’on, neuroleadership, and strategic thinking will be addressed and reinforced through a unique integra’on of classroom sessions led by renown educators, leadership discussions with some of the best thinkers in and out of government, and onsite visits to organiza’ons known for leading edge applica’ons in excellence. The program will use a deliberate and ongoing itera’ve method of learning, reflec’on, and applica’on to real world challenges. Albert Einstein is credited with saying "The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.” Transforma)ve Leadership will develop that different level of leadership thinking needed for success in the coming decades. TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP ELEMENTS PROGRAM DETAILS Ideal candidate This unique 6month program is designed to enhance complex thinking capaci’es in a few, select leaders. The ideal candidate is someone who is already in a seniorlevel role or who is poised to be in such a role, already thinks strategically, and is open to learning new perspec’ves.

Feedback  from  par9cipants  in  the  2013  Transforma9ve  Leadership  Program  

     “I  was  stuck  in  the  ‘expert’  technical  leadership  mode  …  This  course  has  helped  me  to  see  that  there  are  far  greater  results  to  be  had  if  I,  as  a  leader,  can  challenge  myself  to  get  out  of  that  mode.”      “…  the  realiza:on  that  there  is  a  fundamental  difference  between  a  technical  manager  and  an  adap:ve  leader  was  my  epiphany  and  the  launching  pad  to  my  learning  journey.”      “I  now  dis:nguish  the  distrac:ng  technical,  what  I  call  the  noise,  from  the  less  obvious  adap:ve,  the  music.”      “…  learning  to  be  agile,  to  go  back  and  forth  between  observa:on  and  ac:on  …  an  important  trait  for  every  person  to  learn  in  execu:ve  management.”        “I'm  thinking  differently.    I'm  talking  differently.    I'm  ac:ng  differently.”      “…  the  class  has  made  me  much  more  outwardly  aware  …  The  willingness  and  the  desire  to  lean  into  the  challenges  at  work  …  will  have  the  biggest  impact  on  my  organiza:on  and  me  as  an  individual.”      “The  program  led  me  to  understand  the  difference  between  a  transforma:ve  leader  and  a  transac:onal  leader.”
