NEXT GENERATION LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FAMILY BUSINESS LEADERS
The future of family businesses and the communities in which they operate is contingent on the quality and capabilities of tomorrow’s leaders. And that leadership bench is a critical issue, because family businesses, both privately held and public, are a major component of the global economy. To help ensure that the next generation has the leadership skills necessary to realize their potential and flourish in today’s rapidly evolving world, InnerWill Leadership Institute launched the Next Gen Family Leadership Program.
Why InnerWill? InnerWill was born from the oldest and largest family held and family run aggregate company in the U.S. and was founded to help teach other families and family-held businesses how to build values based organizations which ignite the potential in people. Being a financially successful family brings with it opportunities and challenges. We are uniquely qualified to help emerging leaders navigate the waters of family business while becoming the best possible versions of themselves – strengthening leadership capabilities and driving results.
The Next Gen Family Leadership program is a holistic learning experience designed to unlock the leadership potential, passion, and purpose of emerging family business leaders as well as family members who have substantial leadership opportunities in the community and philanthropy (ages 21-40) who are interested in increasing their capacities to influence and lead. Building on emotional intelligence developed through workshops and one-on-one coaching, the program will equip each participant with the self-confidence and tools needed to effectively develop personally and professionally in a safe and confidential environment.
