The Organization Leadership Institute is offering a Leadership Certificate Program.

In partnership with the McLean County Chamber of Commerce, the Organizational Leadership Institute at Illinois State University’s College of Business is bringing back the well-received Leadership Certificate Program.

The series includes four in-depth sessions on the foundations of organizational leadership, building high performance organizations, applied organizational leadership, strategy development and implementation. The program ends with a fifth session featuring a panel review.

“I participated in the inaugural Leadership Certificate Program at Illinois State University to sharpen my skills as a strategic leader, thinker and communicator. This program was exceptional and had just the right mix of assessments, skill building and reflection.” —Jeff Leverton, president/CEO, Four Seasons Health Club

Each session is facilitated by full-time faculty members from the College of Business. In each session, participants will learn through a mix of research and application of real-life skill that combine to make a unique learning experience. Participants will take back to their organizations courses of action and new perspectives as they showcase stronger leadership.

Sessions occur in an all-day format (8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.) which allows participants to explore topics in-depth. Activities are highly interactive and include small breakouts, case studies, and opportunities to reflect. Dates will be September 8, September 22, October 6, and October 20 with a final session on November 10.

The cost for Illinois State alumni is $750 and $875 for anyone else interested. This includes all sessions, meals, parking, and materials. Register online now as the program will close when full.
