How does ELI work?
An applicant library selects an executive manager Sponsor, a new/aspiring leader Fellow, (see below for more information on choosing team members) and a compelling, thorny, real-time assignment – the Leadership Challenge. The team (Sponsor and Fellow) will address this leadership challenge throughout the ten-month course of the Institute. The Fellow will attend three Institute seminars, two four-day meetings and one two-and-a-half day meeting over the ten-month period, to explore institutional and community leadership, change, politics and strategy. The Sponsor will attend the first and last seminars. Between seminars, each team will work with professional and executive coaches to develop and implement their work on their chosen leadership challenge. ELI 4 Intensives at Mt.
