WE MAKE
TRAINING TRANSFORMATIVE
OFC is excited to partner with Bacharach Leadership Group (BLG) in bringing their powerful Pragmatic Leadership™ training experience to life at progressive enterprises and educational institutions. In this era of rapid change, disruption does not mean destruction. It will mean new opportunity if your leaders have the skills of an Agenda Mover to translate ideas into execution by mobilizing and coaching people to go the distance.
BLG PRAGMATIC LEADERSHIP™ MODEL
The Pragmatic Leadership™ model was developed by Professor Samuel B. Bacharach, Co-Founder of Bacharach Leadership Group (BLG), during a span of 30 years, fusing academic rigor and real-world relevance. Bacharach, the McKelvey-Grant Emeritus Professor at Cornell University, decoded the skills by which pragmatic leaders break organizational inertia and move agendas to get things done. This framework was enhanced by psychotherapist, executive coach and BLG Co-Founder, Yael S. Bacharach, whose work on coaching skills has been critical in helping leaders manage their teams and translate ideas into execution. BLG’s proven methodology, outlined in the Pragmatic Leadership™ book series, is about leading for discovery and delivery across 4 critical competencies:
ELEVATING THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING MODEL
The 4 competencies are pillars of the BLG Pragmatic Leadership™ training experience for established and emerging leaders. BLG’s comprehensive approach to training is tailored to the needs of the organization, across a range of modalities: intensive retreats, onsite workshops, virtual learning, and asynchronous learning. Learning happens during BLG’s 3-phase program enabled by a talented team of practitioners and academic researchers:
