Accenture Leadership Center Hosts Leadership Workshop

The Accenture Leadership Center (ALC) hosted a leadership boot-camp this past August as part of its year-long curriculum. The six-day session, which 55 UW-Madison undergraduate students attended, focused on developing students into the leaders of the future through a combination of one-on-one and group discussions, as well as other activities designed to strengthen leadership skills.

Other components of the year-long program include a guest speaker series, a leadership project and capstone event.  UW men’s hockey coach Mike Eaves kicked-off the speaker series with a presentation in September on leading a high-performance team.

This year, the ALC leadership project has evolved into its own course, GB 365: Leadership Development Seminar. The course aims at helping students continue to strengthen their leadership abilities, while using their talents to benefit the local community.

The ALC will sponsor another six-day workshop next August and faculty volunteers are needed to act as small-group facilitators. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Shannon Elliott in the Accenture Leadership Center selliott@bus.wisc.edu or 262-8676.
