    What to Expect

    Unlike other distance learning programs that emphasize solo work, the GovExec Leadership Academy is built around interactivity and community. It’s intentionally flexible to accommodate busy work schedules with self-paced learning on a virtual platform accessible from anywhere. 

    Each course is broken into weekly modules that consist of independent activities, a 1 hour breakout group discussion, and a 30 minute live webinar event facilitated by a Ph.D. leadership coach. All webinars are recorded, so don’t worry if you miss one.

    Testimonials

    "I personally related with many of the lessons and 13 Rules of Leadership from General Powell. He is a no nonsense individual who applied what he teaches in the real world. Some of the business leaders who are with big corporations were so insightful and when they shared their experiences and what they had learned, it was just so powerful. I definitely could envision how fortunate some individuals are to have them as their leaders and mentors. I was fortunate to share this class with other leaders in my City and it has created a camaraderie that has already resulted in more effective and impactful cross departmental cooperation."

    "This program was helpful in several ways. In some instances, it affirmed aspects of my leadership style and in other ways it provided me with new ideas and resources. The combination of both improved my confidence as a leader and has prepared me for the next phase of my career. This program has given me new perspectives and tools to help me build my capacity as a leader, while also reinforcing my sense of those elements of leadership that are the best components of that toolbox."
