The emphasis is on practicing true servant leadership, and making the leap from manager to leader.

Each class is comprised of leaders from a variety of industries at different stages in their careers.

Lasting Impact
Built on a Solid Foundation
Strong Leaders act from a solid foundation. Without it, they may sway with each new leadership theory or when difficult decisions must be made. Core leadership principles, which have stood the test of time, differentiate truly exceptional leaders from the ordinary. Those core principles are where Leadership Flight School focuses – giving your leaders the groundwork to build upon and look back to as they acquire new skills and experiences, and perfect their unique leadership style and traits.
Dynamic Learning Environment
Each Leadership Flight School participant is strategically placed in a small work group, or “Delta Team,” designed to maximize the team dynamics. It’s a unique and powerful experience that encourages a cross-pollination of ideas and creative solutions.
Motivate and Inspire
By understanding how people are “hard wired,” you’ll be able to tailor your approach to effectively motivate and inspire your followers.
Fresh Perspectives
Each class is comprised of leaders from a variety of industries at different stages in their careers, providing a dynamic collaborative environment.
Always Live
Leadership Flight School is always “live and in-person” to ensure it has the maximum impact on your leaders. Hosted at the Bartell training center in State College, PA, it provides a dedicated and focused environment to optimize learning and development.
