Admired Leadership Institute in Napa
February 9 – 12, 2025
The Admired Leadership Institute combines three days of leadership learning with activities that embrace multiple wine experiences found in Napa. This carefully balanced design provides participants with a truly memorable Admired Leadership® experience. It is designed to create a rich dialogue among peer-like leaders.
Who Should Attend
The ideal Admired Leadership Institute® participant is a leader with current significant responsibility and “high potential” for increasing levels of management or leadership complexity. To take full advantage of the setting, the program will incorporate learning about how wine is made and enjoyed by some of the region’s top vintners. While not a prerequisite, those with an interest in wine will find the time spent in Napa even more valuable.
