LEADERS in TRAINING
INSTITUTE
The Coastal Carolina University Leaders in Training Institute has
been established to build leadership capacity to strengthen the
people within the organizations and businesses that serve our area,
region and beyond. In turn, the University is strengthened by the
collaboration among those participants whose collective experiences
enrich this program and possibilities ahead as all of us work together
to build our communities.
I truly believe that we are all stewards of someplace for a very short period of time, and
the best thing that we can do is to leave a place better when we leave than when we
found it. Effective leadership is the key.
Leaders are found at all levels of all organizations. To be the most effective leader that
you can be you have to have one thing – followers. If you don’t have people that follow
you, no matter how good you think you are, you are not a leader. Effective leadership also
requires integrity, which must be practiced every day, all day. If you have the respect from
others, there is nothing that is impossible to accomplish.
“Leadership and learning
are indispensable to
each other.”
~ John F. Kennedy
It is my hope that the Leaders in Training Institute will challenge you to reflect upon our
leadership style and discover the ways all of us – emerging and seasoned leaders alike
– will be able to generate the respect and impact that will better serve our organizations
and communities.
As the second year of the Coastal Carolina University Leaders in Training Institute
takes shape, I hope that you will discover this opportunity to be a valuable part of your
professional development.
Sincerely,
David A. DeCenzo
President, Coastal Carolina University

PROGRAM
HIGHLIGHTS
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best
interest.” Leaders in Training is an innovative program that represents the commitment
of public, private and community leaders to building strong organizational capability by
support in the growth and development of employees. The strategic intent of this program
is to foster a talent-driven culture, with the primary goal of building a strong leadership
pipeline for the future.
Coastal Carolina University’s Leaders in Training Institute will sponsor intensive and
engaging workshops that focus on high levels of self-reflection and self-awareness in
terms of current leadership styles and competencies. LIT will raise each participant’s
self-reflection and awareness and serve as a catalyst for building long-term and effective
leadership transformations. LIT will enable participants to analyze their current leadership
practices and effectively identify and assess their strengths and weaknesses. As
participants become better acquainted with their own leadership characteristics, intensive
training in the areas of authentic leadership, organizational leadership, best-practices
leadership and change leadership will be explored.
This intensive four-module program has been designed to bring together areas of
leadership development that will produce a dramatic shift in leadership skills and
performance. It’s an opportunity to interact with remarkable people, to express thoughts
and ideas effectively and to gain a deeper understanding of the participant’s positive
contribution to him/herself, the university/organization and the community.
This program is designed primarily for practicing professionals seeking advanced
knowledge in the area of leadership development.

AUTHENTIC
LEADERSHIP
One of the keys to building a strong leadership foundation in any organization is the
willingness of the leader to know his authentic self. For many leaders, the realization
that adding value to an organization requires changing the mind-set that leadership
competency is not only about getting results but also about touching the organization
through personal presence and relationships. In short, leaders must make and maintain
authentic connections with the people who work daily to create successful organizations.

“It’s imperative to identify
individuals who have
leadership potential and
then intentionally grow those
leaders by teaching the
tried-and- true leadership
principles. This training
reminds us of the tremendous
responsibility of leadership
and the character required to
be a leader every day.”

““LIT was instrumental in helping
me identify my strengths and
weaknesses and work on those.
I’ve been able to take what
I’ve learned in the LIT program
back to the office and share that
information with my colleagues
and my boss. Because of LIT,
I have been a more effective
leader and of greater value as
an employee at Santee Cooper.”
Clayton Mauldin, LIT 2010

There are many organizational variables that influence the nature and impact of
leadership. The way leaders treat employees influences the way employees treat
customers. Leaders have to address organizational factors that drive positive intentions
and subsequent performance. One without the other will not achieve the desired results.
This module will focus on the interpersonal influences and performance demands
that leaders need to address if they and their organizations are to be successful.
Organizational leadership involves processes and proximal outcomes (such as employee
commitment) that contribute to the development and achievement of organizational
purpose. It is a leader’s responsibility to add value to the organization by giving a sense of
understanding and purpose to its overall activities and human capital assets.

Organizational results often depend upon the analysis, interpretation and strategic
execution of internal practices and procedures. The knowledge, competencies
and abilities leaders need to solve problems or make decisions efficiently and
effectively require increased leadership involvement and collaboration across
organizational boundaries. Throughout this module, participants will explore
approaches for dealing with conflict management, goal-setting strategies and
communication techniques.
