The Center for Creative leadership is a non-profit organization recognized as a top provider of leadership development worldwide. CCL conducts research, produces publications and provides a wide variety of educational programs and products to leaders and organizations in the public, corporate and non-profit sectors. Its mission is to advance the understanding, practice and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide. CCL’s vision is to create new knowledge that advances our field and that positively transforms the way leaders, their organizations and their societies confront the most difficult challenges of the 21st century.
CCL has many customers who wish to gain helpful leadership skills. CCL reaches more than 120 countries from locations on 4 continents. Over 20,000 individuals from more than 3,000 organizations participate in CCL’s programs each year. These organizations include more than two-thirds of the Fortune 100 and approximately 200 institutions.
The customers of CCL value learning new leadership skills that will better them in every day life and in their business interactions to a high extent since the programs are fairly expensive (ex: $11,000 for a one-week session). Companies sending their employees to CCL value a return on their investment. They want their employees to be successful leaders to ensure a better work environment and better business results.
CCL is recognized as a top-ranked global provider of executive education. The organization is extremely successful, especially for a non-profit organization, due to its high amount of returning customers and high-profile clients. The main result is producing better leaders worldwide.
Therefore, CCL’s plan is to continue to provide high-quality leadership development worldwide. The organization will strive to keep its customers up to date with the best leadership skills by researching and analyzing. Our speaker emphasized the importance of being challenged in our course of study. The organization appears to believe in challenging itself to ensure that it is constantly learning and providing the best information to its customers as possible.
I really enjoyed today’s visit because we were able to interact with activities and presentations to better learn how to be a leader. The activity’s message was very valuable. The idea that one should always use their available resources was eye-opening. As a group, we assumed that we couldn’t use the internet as a resource to figure out how to balance the nails. Yet, the assumption was just in our heads. The activity was a very clever way to make me realize that I don’t always use all of my resources to solve problems, as I did not think to use the internet. During our visit, I was also very impressed with how nice the building was for a non-profit organization. I believe that the work CCL does is very valuable to businesses and to people living their every day lives. One day I may even need their expertise.
