IAEE Robert L. Krakoff Future Leaders Institute
Sponsored by: Champion Exposition Services

6 – 8 August 2010
JW Marriott Hill Country ~ San Antonio, Texas


“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
                                                                                                                                                 - John Quincy Adams -

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 other to accomplish objectives and goals.  Becoming an effective leader requires a relentless process of self-study, education, training, and experience. 

The IAEE Robert L. Krakoff Future Leaders Institute brings together individuals interested in learning more about themselves so they can become effective strategists, contributors, facilitators and the innovators of the future. 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

“As a graduate of the Future Leaders Institute, I can say that I am an example of the success of the program.  The Institute not only provided me direction and insights into building a successful career in this industry, the contacts and colleagues that I met through The Institute have been integral in my success."

“Through IAEE's Future Leadership Institute, I was able to propel my career to a senior leadership position within 3 years after graduating.  In looking back, the experience was the best professional development opportunity I have had in my career.  Through The Institute, I learned how to facilitate creative thinking within a team, met and listened to senior leaders from the industry, and was taught how to better manage and lead a team in a turbulent economic environment.  This is a must for any young professional looking to advance their career.”

“Future Leaders Institute changed my life. Personality analysis helped me embrace my strengths, and lessons on leadership, management and teamwork have inspired me to accountable action in my career to the benefit of my company and our customers. Best of all was the trustful group of peers established, whom I have increasingly called upon for help and vice versa.”
