From the Laboratory to Leadership

This fully redesigned program leverages our extensive industry-specific knowledge and experience to utilize the most progressive and engaging professional development methods available.

Built from over 30 years of success with more than 7,500 graduates from over 1,000 life science companies, our From the Laboratory to Leadership program will guide first-time managers, and those seeking to expand their management skills, into capable business leaders.

"The From the Laboratory to Leadership program was very much a self-discovery journey for me. I was amazed to find out how people could be different in their personalities and work styles. The instructor shared useful techniques for the success of individuals and corporations. The program helped me understand how a successful corporation works and to implement the knowledge in my daily work. I strongly recommend the program for people who want to learn about goal setting, leveraging personal strengths, priority management, coaching, delegation and interviewing."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE FORMAT AND DURATION OF THE PROGRAM?

At The Leadership Edge, we use learning and development approaches that have been supported by research to achieve the most successful participant outcomes. We instill increased confidence and competence in the participants and the successful implementation of tools and skills in the workplace. To achieve this, our program format is based on three premises; learning over time, spaced repetition, and accountability. The From The Laboratory To Leadership Program, is delivered over four (4) sessions, with each full day session spaced two (2) weeks apart. This enables participants the opportunity to learn a tremendous amount of content at a pace that is not overwhelming, gives them the opportunity to implement the tools and concepts in the workplace, and provides the opportunity for participants to discuss their successes and challenges as they are held accountable in their next session. While this format is our most utilized delivery method, we realize that, on occasion, our clients require an alternative delivery format. In these cases we will partner with you to design a delivery approach that supports your needs without sacrificing tremendous results. Although the program is four (4) sessions, the support of The Leadership Edge and your program facilitator never ends as the result of our free, life-time support.
