Leadership Groups: CEO Track
A 12 Month Interactive Intensive to Prepare Your Insurance Organization’s Future CEO.
If your current CEO is planning to transition out of the CEO spot in the next 1-10 years, you have likely already identified one or more potential candidates for the role. But how prepared are your future CEOs?
This transition is much more than a “changing of the guard.” Your next CEO must understand how to grow the business while sustaining the key elements have made your organization successful.
Great leaders are made, not born. It’s important to provide a formal leadership training that uplevels your future leader’s effectiveness.
That is why DBH developed our specialized Leadership Groups: CEO Track – to foster transformational leadership development in the insurance industry.
Who should participate?
DBH’s CEO Track leadership groups are perfect for those leaders in your organization who have CEO-potential. This 12-month program exposes potential CEO candidates to veteran insurance industry CEO mentors and to a peer group of high-achieving leaders.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in robust dialogue around core leadership characteristics and competencies. Small groups meet monthly for one year for a transformative learning experience.
Measuring your emerging leader's progress throughout the program:
Assessment - Participants begin their 12-month journey by taking the Campbell Leadership Descriptor, which identifies characteristics for successful leadership and helps the participant gauge strengths and areas for improvement. Participants re-take the assessment at 6 months to mark progress and areas for further development.
Leadership Project - Each participant will create a community leadership project and have opportunities to discuss progress, challenges, and lessons learned throughout the year.
CEO Check-in - Participants will be encouraged to establish a monthly review with their CEOs to discuss learning points and identify areas to bring a higher level of contribution to the organization. Learn more about our team of CEO Leaders.
