They work to identify opportunities, develop strategic plans, and implement those plans through other people.

"This experience provides a different perspective of the role of a manager and very different from what I have been taught before. The logic is there and it explains why this process works so successfully. This has been a wonderful experience."

"When I think back on the week and all the other conferences I have attended — I am absolutely amazed at the level of emotional involvement I experienced. Thank you for your guidance. This is by far the most valuable experience of my career."

"This has been a tremendous experience. I really feel that I will be much more effective than I was before. The tasks that I need to accomplish are now crystal clear."

"The combination of the simulation with the clear concise discussions of the issues being experienced and understanding the true role of management and leadership made this session a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

"This is one of the few classes that has maintained such an intense level of learning every day — the time flew — and each day was amazing."

"Obviously my management skills were lacking when I started this course. I hope I can find a position in which I have the opportunity to put into practice what I have learned."
