DePaul University's Driehaus College of Business and Discovery Senior Living launch a new leadership development program for 200 company leaders across the country.

BONITA SPRINGS, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2024 / Discovery Senior Living ("Discovery") is excited to announce they have launched a new leadership development program in partnership with the Executive Education Program at DePaul University's Driehaus College of Business to accelerate leadership capabilities.

The leadership development program is customized to the needs of Discovery Senior Living, the fifth largest senior living operator, and one of the fastest growing with locations across the United States. As an investment in nearly 200 of Discovery's leaders from across the company, this yearlong, virtual and online certificate program equips participants to become informed, impactful leaders. Four dynamic, synchronous workshops cover the fundamentals of leadership.

"In our first workshop, we focus on cultivating self-awareness and action planning," said Bob Rubin, Associate Dean of Graduate and Executive Education at Driehaus. "That workshop is led by Professor of Management and Entrepreneurship Erich Dierdorff, an award-winning teacher and leading human resources and organizational behavior researcher. It will help participants identify key leadership capabilities to strengthen and establish accountability mechanisms," said Rubin. "This session sets the groundwork for their leadership growth journey."

The remaining three sessions focus on how to recruit and retain a diverse workforce; how to foster excellence; and how to drive organizational change from the mid-level. Asynchronous, experiential exercises complement the workshops, allowing participants to thoroughly integrate their newly honed leadership skills into their work. Participants who engage in all four sessions will receive a certificate from DePaul University.

"Our executive education programs are designed to propel professionals' development through targeted learning opportunities," said Rubin. "We prioritize customization, tailoring our programs to align with each organization's specific learning and development objectives."

"We recognize that strong, capable, and engaged leaders are at the heart of attracting and retaining the very best talent in the industry," said Bill Sciortino, Chief Operating Officer at Discovery Senior Living. "Our investment in our leaders and partnership with DePaul is just one of many strategies towards our continued focus on building a world-class learning organization."
