Senior-level Leader Cohorts
GLF cohorts for senior-level leaders are typically for those in the second half of their career and/or those in senior leadership positions with significant experience in globally oriented social purpose work.
We carefully build cohorts composed of leaders who have roughly similar levels of leadership maturity and experience. Factors that may help determine which cohort is the best fit could include:
Guiding Questions and Sampling of Topics for Cohorts
A unique aspect of the GLF program is that leadership and management content is put through the lens of leaders that are globally minded and have global and social impact dimensions to their work.
GLF is committed to advancing conversations in the cohort around the interplay between power, privilege, racism, colonialism, and the white savior complex in global development, leadership and management.
1. What is my purpose in working in global development?
Topics may include: origins and development of social purpose commitments; hope and motivation; professional evolution and aspirations; a needs assessment on management and leadership; vision and mission; values and culture; inclusive leadership.
2. How do I understand and navigate the complexities of being a leader?
Topics may include: Vision. Mission, Value Proposition and Theory of Change; Agility and Adaptability; Equity; Change Management; Boards; Teams; Power and Influence; Strategy and Planning; Mindful Messaging; Constituency Development; Learning and Impact; Navigating Difficult Conversations.
3. How do I stay true to myself, my values, my purpose, and my organization’s mission?
Topics may include: Staying healthy; renewal; integrity and meaning; joy and courage in the workplace; kitchen cabinet and support; the future.
Schedule and Time Commitment
Cohorts meet for three day long retreats and four half-day session over the duration of six to seven months. When the cohort meets for the first time, a mutually agreeable schedule for the remainder of the program is established.
Between sessions, cohort participants have assignments that may include readings, short videos, peer check-ins, and applying and practicing new ways of leading. Participants may opt to receive up to three hours of coaching, thought partnership, or mentoring during the program from cohort faculty.
All cohort participants prepare and lead a short presentation on their leadership at the closing of the cohort.
