CURRICULUM | ACCLAIM | APPROACH
 

Welcome to the world of Personal Leadership Insight! The PLI curriculum is a product of our combined 30 years of leadership teaching and training experience, our love for leadership development and our belief in the tremendous value of building students and adults of strong leaderly character.

"Personal Leadership Insight is our understanding of how to positively influence people and situations to create value and growth."

This definition of PLI provides a clear picture of the core values we believe and your students will be taught throughout the PLI curriculum.

  • Understanding - Like any valuable tool, leadership must be thoroughly understood before it can effectively be engaged. Our ten PLI Essentials structure provides a researched-based, field-proven, wide swath of leadership concepts.
  • Positively influence - Leadership can be both used for good and bad. The core output of a "PLI student" is their ability to know how to use their influence for positive.
  • People - Leadership is a team sport. The PLI curriculum is not focused on abstract, impractical theory. It is based on helping your students understanding how to be better leaders through better interaction with their self-image, their work and their interactions.
  • Situations - Great student leaders not only understand how to lead people, but they know how to make good choices and how to lead projects.
  • Create Value - A PLI student will understand how to engage their positive leadership more passionately and purposefully. Through this work, the value they create for the school, the community, their peers, their family and their life will leave a positive legacy of leadership.
  • Growth - Obviously this is your goal, our goal and the PLI curriculum's goal - to be able to quantitatively measure a student's leadership effectiveness progression. Are they a better leader because of the experience? We believe the answer is yes because we have personally seen it happen.

We know your current leadership class material is fun, interactive and meaningful. PLI can help you make it structured, poetic, and epic.

The Personal Leadership Insight curriculum is built around our ten PLI Essentials:

We invested two years of research, interviewing leadership experts and leaders in the field, and the list of ten PLI Essentials is the result. We believe that a leader who is equipped with the practical knowledge and experience in these ten areas of leadership development is able to lead brilliantly.

The curriculum itself is designed to engage all seven multiple intelligences (Linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Spatial, Bodily-Kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Naturalist), as well as connect with all three learning styles (Visual, Kinesthetic and Auditory). Bloom's Taxomony was also taken into consideration when we developed the curriculum (Evaluation, Synthesis, Analysis, Application, Comprehension, Knowledge).
