Leverage Your Unique Leadership Perspective to Maximize Organizational Impact and Accelerate Career Success

To thrive in today’s global digital marketplace, organizations need multidimensional managers who can deliver business results by harnessing their unique perspectives and those of their team members.

Program Overview

Authentic Leadership Strategies

The UCLA Multidimensional Leaders’ Institute offers a safe space in which to develop career and organization building tools based on the effective management of our similarities and differences.

The institute develops authentic leaders able to understand their own leadership styles and bring their whole selves to work — leaders who become adept at navigating corporate culture and skilled at bringing out the best in themselves and the diverse teams on which they work.

Taught live online, the institute employs UCLA’s three-phase ACT (Adapt, Catalyze, Transform) learning model to develop participants’ ability to adapt, catalyze and transform.

The Experience

 
The work-friendly, 9-session learning journey is taught live online, utilizing assessments and coaching to take a deep dive into your unique leadership style and how you can leverage it to deliver increased organizational value while accelerating career progression. In-depth post-program analysis reinforces insights gained, gauges your progress and drives home the workplace applicability of what you've learned.
Management Assessment Tools

Assessment tools are combined to provide you with a clear understanding of your management strengths and personal leadership style, how your style affects others and areas that could benefit from improvement. The assessments are completed and reviewed in detail with your coach to help drive your leadership development.

Coaching

Coaching is a critical part of your transformation as a leader and is delivered both individual coaching sessions as well through peer coaching clusters. You and your coach will utilize the results of your two assessments to define your goals, identify your leadership strengths and opportunities for development, and create your leadership action plan. In addition, instructor-led coaching clusters guide you and your peers to serve as mentors to each other, both during the program and as a virtual support network afterward.

Action Journal

Our exclusive reference guide will serve as your compass to chart your progress through each phase of the program. In this journal, you will find compelling questions and structured activities that lead you through the process of understanding where you have been, where you are going and where you see yourself as a leader in the future. By fully engaging with this journal, you will take away from this experience a detailed plan for how to accelerate your career as a leader. Each section of the journal closely maps to each phase of the program, setting the foundations for learning and preparing you for action upon your return to work.

Adapt, Catalyze, Transform

 
The ACT Learning Model
Adapt

The first phase of the program is structured to help participants adapt as leaders. Adapting is the process of preparing for change. And this foundational work begins with a series of virtual learning opportunities:

• Participants engage in a kick-off web conference that provides them with a program overview

• They complete a personal assessment and a Leadership Competencies Assessment, along with additional pre-program assignments

• They engage in their first individual coaching session

Catalyze

The second phase of the program prepares participants to catalyze their learning through the development of a wide array of leadership skills that help them communicate their vision and inspire others to join them in driving organizational change. During these sessions, participants are provided with the appropriate tools to help them translate their learning into actionable next steps at work.

Transform

The third phase of the program helps participants transform their individual professional goals into organizational action. This transformation hinges on how they apply the first two phases of their learning journey to inspire those around them in pursuit of innovative strategies to create organizational value — in short, how successfully they can adapt and catalyze.

Progress is tracked in their Leadership Action Plan, a tool customized to their personal development goals but designed to facilitate the application of their expanded skill sets to their organization’s needs.

In addition, participants engage in two more individual coaching sessions and two webinars with their “coaching clusters” — peer groups convened to focus on application of program learning.
