The Executive Excellence Program is conducted in three phases and provides participants with the critical core capabilities, knowledge, and skills needed to lead correctional organizations, both today and in the future.

Objectives

The program is based on the following four models:

• The Developmental Model
  To be successful, future correctional executives must possess a substantive knowledge of the corrections field. They must also be physically fit, ethically grounded, and intellectually challenged.
• The Assessment and Feedback Model
  Executives are more effective when they thoroughly understand themselves through systematic and constructive feedback from their bosses, peers, colleagues, faculty, and direct reports.
• The Correctional CEO Model
  Tomorrow's correctional leaders must have a clear vision, both personally and professionally, think strategically, be action-oriented, and be ethical. They must also be continuous learners, collaborators and team builders, catalysts for change, risk takers, and politicians.
• The Executive Leadership Developmental Model
  Participants create an action-oriented plan to help ensure future success.
