About Program

In the fall semester of 2012, the National Association of College Employers released a study asserting that 95% of employers believe that leadership development should start at age 21, 90% believe that leadership development programs should be part of every students’ educational experience, and approximately 75% of employers stated that they look for leadership experience in a future employee’s resume.

Surprisingly, although employers have made it clear that they are searching for employees with developed leadership skills, only 6% of universities have sophisticated, institutionally sustained collegiate leadership development programs and 52% of leadership educators have reported that they have done little to no coursework in leadership studies.

In response to these challenges amongst disciplinary accreditors, Joshua Fredenburg not only created his newest leadership book entitled, Are You the World’s Next Top Leader?, but he also created an extensive ten month leadership curriculum.  The powerful leadership curriculum is full of engaging leadership theories, practical applications, expert advice, personal assessments, and incredible reflection activities that are focused on equipping, empowering, and preparing emerging and seasoned leaders for leadership success in the 21^st Century.
