Institute for Leadership in Changing Times (ILCT)

What motivates your staff? What leadership style works well in your organization? Designed for individuals occupying a first-line or mid-management level position in a public or private sector business or law-enforcement agency, the ILCT is an education-based leadership program designed to develop creative thinking and leadership skills. The curriculum draws upon a variety of subjects related to leadership in successful organizations today. Curriculum topics include motivation, self leadership, situational leadership, developing followership, managing multi-generation workplaces, building healthy teams, organizational communication, barriers to success, and other leadership issues.

This program is open to first line supervisors/mid-managers with demonstrated leadership potential and who have completed a basic supervision program. This is a residential program, and all participants will be required to stay on campus and must commit to the entire educational process at both the summer and fall schedule.

 

The ILCT Learning Experience

Component 1

The first component is a five-day intensive residential and classroom learning experience, complemented by pre-program assignments.

Component 2

The second component of the program is the application of learning on the job, including assignments to be completed while on the job. This component includes continuous feedback with course faculty from Virginia Tech.

Component 3

The final component is a three-day residential session in the fall to assess lasting impacts on behavior, as well as evaluating "lessons learned" and "best practices." Both "lessons learned" and "best practices" are business terms popular today in assessing what can be learned and successfully implemented in specific workplaces or different professional settings.
