How do we increase levels of leader effectiveness on the job for highly experienced leaders?  How can leaders overcome plateaus? Why do traditional leader development programs appear to have little influence on raising levels of leader effectiveness?  How can leaders increase the level of leader effectiveness when dealing with highly difficult and stressful leadership challenges?

During January’s Professional Development Program, Dr. Steve Frieman discussed the results of three pilot programs that tested his new approach he called the Savvy Leader Practicum.  Most of the 68 participants reported to have increased their level of leader effectiveness when dealing with highly difficult and stressful challenges by the end of program.  And 40% of participants reported they were now more relaxed, less stressed and less anxious on the job.
