Syllabus

Course one: Leadership Sprint*
Diane Fulton

Leadership Assessment

Successful leaders must learn to identify their strengths and challenges, and understand how to use them to support their own success and their organization’s goals. This part of the program contains four separate sections: Leadership Assessment, Leadership Success Factors, Emotional Intelligence, and Decision-Making and Team Effectiveness. Participants will review and learn important concepts in each section, and then apply them to their own leadership situation.

 

*This course can be taken as a standalone program, but it is also the first course in the Leadership Bootcamp.

Course two: Reinforcing Your Tool Belt
Michel Magnan

Financial Acumen

This course aims to provide participants with an understanding as to how financial statements capture and reflect the economic outcome of an organization’s strategy. Adopting the perspective of an organization’s top leadership (board of directors, senior management), and relying on an actual set of financial statements, participants will be exposed to and will review financial statements to assess its value creation and performance, evaluate if its financial, material and human resources are allocated in an efficient and effective way or benchmark against competitors. Ultimately, participants will be able to apprehend the consequences of managerial actions on a firm’s financial statements.

Course three: Agile and Adaptive Leader
Palma Robinson 

Unleashing the power and potential of your people, team and organization.

This one-day interactive workshop will introduce you to new perspectives on leadership and provide you with a practical, hands-on experience that will impact the way you think, feel and act empowered when faced with uncertainty and risk. This session will increase your and others’ willingness and motivation to take initiative, while holding you and others responsible and accountable for the outcome of these actions. It will positively contribute to increased levels of confidence, satisfaction and trust.

Discussion will focus on strategies and tools designed to sustain new thinking and new management practices conducive to learning, experimentation and risk taking. 

Course four: Leadership in Action
Tim Field

Live case presentation and case competition.

On day one of this session, a representative from Cirque du Soleil will present participants with a case, which will challenge and test the leadership skills they have learned over the past three sessions. Participants will then take the rest of the day to work on the case in preparation for a live case competition, which will take place in front of a panel on day two.
