What Makes Us Unique?  While many offer leadership development programs, only a few are willing and able to measure their effectiveness.  Likewise, most do not provide opportunities to assess an individual participant’s learning.  And only our Institutes (up till now) reinforce an individual’s leadership development through specifically designed exercises and activities that support our leadership practice principles, concepts, and ideas.

• Measure  In partnership with Sequent, we created the Higher Levels of Leadership Indicator (HLLI) to measure the higher level leadership themes from the book, The Conflicted Leader and Vantage Leadership, written by General Gray, the 29^th Commandant of the Marine Corps, and Paul Otte, President Emeritus, Franklin University (published by the Franklin University Press in 2006).  Our participants take the HLLI as both a pre-test and a post-test and we have observed significant increase in scores, a strong indicator of the effectiveness of our Leadership Institutes.

• Assess  Leadership Institute participants begin by creating their own definition of leadership.  Then through the Institute modules, exercises, and activities, along with their listening to (and practicing based on) recorded presentations from our Hall Leadership Lessons and Mason Leadership Symposium, they develop and present their own leadership philosophy.  Many of our participating organizations have found these presentations to be an effective way to assess an individual’s leadership development.

• Practice  Based on an in-depth review of current thinking in the field of practice (as compared to talent), we have created our own leadership practice principles; continually stretching, consciously thinking, doing openly, and developing others.  These concepts are further supported by concepts and ideas that are presented, explained in detail, and applied in exercises and activities in our Leadership Institutes.  By practicing their leadership during and after the Institute, we have seen how our participants greatly increase their leadership development.

Today our Leadership Center is making a significant difference in central Ohio and beyond.  We have innovative programs (Raymond E. Mason Jr. Leadership Symposium, Hall Leadership Lessons, and our Leadership Institutes) and significant resources (over 100 recorded leadership presentations and books available through our Franklin University Leadership Press) that can raise your level of leadership.
