Extraordinary Leaders Institute

1021 8th Ave. SE
Olympia, WA 98501

Time: 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., both days.

Based on the best-selling book, The Extraordinary Leader, by Drs. Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman, the Extraordinary Leaders Institute utilizes a revolutionary 360-degree feedback tool to provide participants with real data, both quantitative and qualitative, about their current leadership competency levels from those who know the leaders best—the people that work directly for and with them.

Over the course of this two-day institute, participants will engage in a new approach to leadership development based on the belief that good leaders can become extraordinary by building on existing strengths and identifying potential areas of improvement.

ATTENTION: Registration closes four weeks before the workshop so the 360-degree survey can be generated for participants.
