Good leaders are made not born.
There are certain things you must be, know, and do and these do not come naturally. Leaders are able to inspire and influence others to accomplish objectives and goals. Becoming an effective leader requires a relentless process of self-study, education, training, and experience.
IAEE provides a multiyear tailored education program for everyone who aspires to be involved with IAEE and obtain an industry or organizational leadership role. The multiyear education program includes the Krakoff Leadership Institute and the Krakoff Advanced Leadership Institute, which provide participants with the intelligence and connection they will need as tomorrow’s industry leaders. Both programs offer emerging leaders the opportunity to learn from industry experts while enjoying the intimacy of a small group learning environment designed to build lasting relationships.
The Krakoff Leadership Institute brings together individuals interested in learning more about themselves so they can get involved and become effective strategists, contributors, facilitators and the innovators. This highly interactive curriculum integrates theory and practice to ensure institute participants leave capable of both thinking better and doing better.
Through active participation, participants will gain a greater understanding of how to:
• Align personal and professional values as well as manage opposing values
• Leverage personal strengths and weaknesses (DISC) to promote and motivate excellence with differing work styles
• Form effective teams by recognizing barriers and integrating intervention techniques to achieve synergistic results
• Communicate effectively in a diverse and global industry to maximize value and decrease misunderstandings
• Address and manage conflict in the workplace with skill to minimize disruptions to work and to create a harmonious work environment
• Apply processes and tools to develop a strategic plan to navigate needs, trends, issues and develop solutions that deliver the greatest impact and value
• Evolve personal leadership skills through intentional self-evaluation
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” - John Quincy Adams

What Past Participants Are Saying:
“I absolutely love everything about IAEE’s Krakoff Leadership Institute program. I graduated in 2010, and the knowledge, contacts and friendships I have made from this program were beyond my expectations. I was also blown away when I was selected to represent the Robert L. Krakoff seat for the national Board of Directors for IAEE for the 2011 term. It has been an amazing experience! I am honored to be a part of this excellent program and to be associated with such elite group of individuals.”
