Total Leadership Connections Program Celebrates a Decade of Success

WHITE HAVEN, Pa., May 31, 2012 — Creative Energy Options, INC. announces new data showing how their highly respected leadership program helps leaders succeed over years.

"It's not just another flavor of the month," said Denise Fantuzzi, President of DF Consulting.

In its second decade, with the 52nd class convening July 18-20 (http://www.ceoptions.com), the numbers are strong. Partnering with the statistics department at East Stroudsburg University, they researched how the innovative concepts and tools of the Total Leadership Connections program help leaders develop.

The results are in.

Candidates are initially given a 360 Degree Leadership Assessment developed by CEOINC., another six months after they graduate, and finally three years later. While in any type of learning situation there are diminishing returns, here the key ideas are retained, and get stronger.

The success and longevity of this program is because it goes well beyond traditional programs. It targets the underlying stressors at work and how this stress impacts business relationships. More importantly, it gives practical and sound advice on what to do about it.

Over 30 years of research by CEOINC., President Sylvia Lafair, PhD shows that the patterns of behavior we learned in our original organization, the family, are the ones we bring with us into our work organizations and are activated from stress. However, once we can target these patterns we can learn simple and effective methods to transform them.

The 360 Degree Assessment has been proven to be valid and reliable and 79% of those going through the program demonstrated a major increase in the 30 core competencies measured. They are more resilient, more able to resolve conflict, more collaborative and able to lead teams through tough times with less absenteeism and gossip.

This assessment can be used on its own for companies interested in testing the strength of leaders and identifying area for improvement.

To get a deeper understanding of this powerful and prestigious program, read Dr. Lafair's award-winning book "Don't Bring It to Work" (http://www.sylvialafair.com), named one of the top 20 books for new leaders. The company has been selected as one of the top leadership development organizations of 2011 by Leadership Excellence.
