How do you develop your organization's executives of the future? Research indicates that top performers can be as much as 1000% more productive than your average employee. Yet, it takes 10 years to develop even a top performing leader to be successful in an executive role.  In order to retain high potential individuals, organizations must continue to invest in their training and development. The Emerging Leader program can help you do just that.

What Is The Emerging Leader Program?

The Emerging Leader program is a yearlong leadership and business skill development program for high potential future executives in corporate, government and non-profit business organizations.

In addition to experiential leadership and development training using local, regional and national thought leaders and top UD School of Business professors as facilitators, the program includes multiple assessments, networking with other high potential leaders, executive coaching and a formal mentoring program.  Emerging Leaders graduate with the skills and confidence needed to be successful at the next level and beyond. 

Individual programs feature a broad array of topics including: Building Effective Teams, Leading Change, Finance for Non-Financial Managers, Operations Management, Marketing Essentials, Strategic Business Development, Business Simulation, Coaching for Performance, Communicating at the Executive Level, Key Ways to Influence Relationships, Fostering Creativity, Leadership Challenge, Managing Corporate Culture and Trust, and Managing Management Time.


Who Should Attend?

Ideal for top performing leaders with 10 or more years experience and an advanced degree or combined equivalent experience. Organizations should identify Emerging Leaders as having the potential to advance into an executive role. Your company’s selection and support of these Emerging Leaders will enable them to move into executive roles seamlessly, confidently, and successfully.


What Is The Cost?

The cost of the Emerging Leader program is $12,000. In addition to 18 days of business skills and leadership development training, assessments, mentoring, coaching and networking, Emerging Leaders receive admission to two of the Center for Leadership & Executive Development’s executive development programs during the 12 months following graduation.

What Are They Saying About The Emerging Leader Program?

"You will be frustrated. You will be uncomfortable. You will be challenged. You will learn about yourself. You will love it. The University of Dayton has gathered a diverse group of local and national personalities who are experts in different parts of the leadership equation. These experts provide real world examples of what makes a successful leader and why. With the help of my mentor, I have been astounded to look at the recent past to discover that 'I led my team to accomplish all of this?' The University of Dayton's Emerging Leader program is run by professionals who really do care about your success."

"The Emerging Leader program has been a wonderful opportunity for me, both professionally and personally. I am one of those individuals who, after many years with my company, have just begun to realize my potential as a leader. This program has provided excellent visibility to senior management of my talents and put me at the front of the pack of those seeking higher-level opportunities. I've had the chance to interact with other leadership candidates from other companies within the Dayton community and build what I hope will be enduring business relationships. Personally, the Emerging Leader program has given me tremendous confidence and a newfound respect for my leadership abilities. It has been very gratifying to me to discover, even at this late stage of my career, that I can still compete at a high level."
