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:
-
Personal and professional values
-
Personal leadership/work style and how to leverage strengths and manage weaknesses
-
How effective teams form, what inhibits teams from achieving synergy and what desirable interventions leaders make to enhance group effectiveness
-
Process and tools for increasing a strategic understanding of needs, trends, issues and how to create and manage processes and solutions that deliver the greatest value
“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.”

“I was moving at 110 miles per hour when I arrived at the KLI program and after the amazing class I am now moving at 110 miles per hour with direction and focus! This was, by far, the BEST session I have even had the opportunity to be a part of in my professional career. Thank IAEE and KLI Board members.
