CPBL 5 Day Course
The accelerated 5-day CPBL program introduces leadership through the Petersen Leadership Triangle and the full Petersen Leadership Model. Participants explore Character, Style, Judgment, Culture, Execution, and Life while applying academic leadership concepts from Northouse and practical tools from Petersen practitioner materials. Using DiSC, leadership questionnaires, readings, and guided reflection, students assess their own leadership approach and apply the learning to a real business or organizational challenge. Throughout the week, participants build a Business Transformation Plan that moves from values and mission to vision, strategy, objectives, and a tactical action plan designed to improve performance, alignment, growth, and leadership impact.
