CAP is a personalized development experience offered to African American, Hispanic and Native American business professionals with high potential for senior leadership. All ascending professionals must address similar areas of development to advance in their careers. CAP is a result of extensive industry research and is guided by real-world business insight. This program provides an experiential approach to drive and sustain both analytical and behavioral skill development.
MLT has gathered top professional coaches with corporate business success as well as graduate school faculty members to lead CAP Fellows through the six-month personalized and high-touch program.
Rather than skimming the surface of multiple leadership topics, CAP is a focused curriculum that addresses critical performance and behavioral gaps and delivers sustainable benefits through intensive learning courses that employ active learning, rigorous practice and real-world business simulation in a supportive yet challenging environment. CAP applies a highly specialized approach that incorporates one-on-one coaching and behavioral exercises designed to push participants beyond their comfort zones.
Phase 1 of the CAP experience consists of assessments, pre-work, and individual coaching to develop a Personal Scorecard, a customized performance baseline to target and track outcomes.
Participants complete approximately four hours of work over this six week period.
Phase 2 consists of the Leadership Horizon Weekend (LHW), a concentrated in-residence component that provides a rigorous active learning environment and high performing peer networking. Through a series of specific intensive learning tracks, Participants are challenged in a supportive environment to stretch their thinking and examine personal impediments to success. While other programs require participants to commit to five days out of office, we realize that this can be a disruption to the normal flow of business. LHW is held Wednesday through Sunday, requiring only three out-of-office days.
During Phase 3, Participants receive ongoing one-on-one executive coaching as well as a series of opportunities to engage with senior executives from an array of industries, functions, and C-level roles. MLT incorporates the results gathered from Leadership Horizon Weekend and uses them as the basis for assignments and coaching to improve a Participant's personal impact and daily performance. Participants receive a Personal Outcome Report that summarizes progress toward goals set in the Personal Scorecard. Participants complete approximately four hours of work per month over this four month period.
Upon completion of the program, CAP Participants are granted a lifetime of inclusion in MLT's national leadership network.
