Frequently Asked Questions About Leadership Programs

There are many different types of leadership training courses available, and the ones your organization chooses for its leaders depend on the challenges and needs of your organization, as well as the level of the individual leader. Some training programs focus on immersive, hands-on simulations and developmental experiences, while others are online-only courses that enable leaders to develop their skills from anywhere. 

Since the challenges faced and skills needed to succeed are different at every level of the organization, leadership courses and programs should be tailored to what a leader is facing currently — while also preparing them for what’s next: 

Effective leadership training is based on rigorous research, and it’s highly individualized, targeting a leader’s unique challenges and strengths in order to drive real impact and help the leader bring out their best. To be truly transformational, an effective leadership course must offer personalized attention and feedback, tangible and engaging learning experiences, and ongoing support to its participants. 

The benefits of leadership training include gaining increased self-awareness of strengths and weaknesses through individualized feedback based on assessment data, setting clear personal and professional development goals with the help of a trained executive coach, learning from peers facing similar challenges, and joining a community of alumni who can offer ongoing support.

The best leadership training providers are those who have decades of extensive research and experience in the field, and have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of leaders at all levels. At CCL, we’re proud to have over a million leadership program alumni around the globe, and have won many awards and accolades, proving that we’re among the world’s top providers of leadership courses and programs.
