The NFPA Executive Leadership Program is an in-depth and interactive program that helps emerging leaders in the fluid power industry develop their network and advance their management and leadership skills through tailored content. Its sessions are presented in collaboration with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, with Kellogg faculty helping to curate interactions among program participations.
A third cohort of scholars are now engaging in this program, with their first in-person session held in conjunction with the August 2024 NFPA Industry and Economic Outlook Conference. The first session’s focus was on Executive Foundations, with each participant taken through a detailed leadership competency assessment, paired with a learning partner, and set on a personalized development course that will carry them through the remaining five sessions:
Oct 2024 – Strategy & Execution
Dec 2024 – Strategic Negotiation
Feb 2025 – Cultivating Culture, Values and Virtues
Apr 2025 – Presentations with Presence
Jun 2025 – Leading Under Pressure
Plans are already underway for a fourth cohort – scheduled to begin in August 2025. Now is the time to reserve a spot for your up-and-coming professional in this unique and impactful program. Contact Eric Lanke at elanke@nfpa.com for more information.
