(BBB serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming)
The BBB serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming has partnered with the Center for Principle-Based Leadership and Ethics at the University of Wyoming College of Business to offer their Cowboy Leadership Experience executive certificate program. The program will be offered January 8th-12th, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM each day at the BBB offices just off of I-25 and CO-392.
The Cowboy Leadership Experience is an ethics-centered certificate program that facilitates transformational individual and organizational growth by returning leaders to their core selves. Over five days, participants learn to create thriving organizations by taking a human-centered approach to leadership based on their code of ethics.
The curriculum for the program is based around three main themes:
- Self exploration: Being aware of your values and principles and maintaining a positive attitude and focused direction as you work toward furthering them.
- Team influence: Inspiring those around you to be fully engaged in the team’s purpose, consistently delivering a high level of performance and commitment, and doing so with the utmost integrity.
- Organization dynamics: Ensuring the entire organization thrives even during growth and change through foresight and flexibility while maintaining a values-based culture.
“As part of our goal of building a community of trustworthy businesses throughout our service territory, we are thrilled by the opportunity to bring the Cowboy Leadership Experience from Laramie to Colorado’s Front Range,” said BBB President and CEO Shelley Polansky. “This program will not only challenge business leaders to think critically about their own ethical values and how they use them in leading teams and organizations, but it also offers real benefits to organizations by helping them create better strategic plans, attract and retain talented, committed employees, and become more resilient to change and challenges.”
The program will be presented by Kent Noble, Chris Haller, and Chase Thiel, along with other UW faculty. Kent Noble is the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Faculty Fellow at the University of Wyoming and chair of the BBB serving Northern Colorado and Wyoming Foundation Board of Advisors. Chris Haller is the director of the Center for Principle-Based Leadership and Ethics at the University of Wyoming and has previously served as the director of the Center for Professional Selling at UW. Chase Thiel is the UW Bill Daniels Chair of Business Ethics and associate professor of management at the UW College of Business.
