2. Who is the Crane Leadership Roundtable experience intended for?

It is for any leader who wants to get better at maximizing their influence in any professional environment.

That said, we are currently limiting our next cohort to those emerging professionals in the first decade of their leadership journey. The basic profile for such a leader would include, but would not be limited to, the following qualities:

  • Any emerging professional leaders who are in their first decade of professional life (approximately in their 20’s to early 30’s)
  •   Someone who is coachable and hungry to learn
  •   A high-capacity leader who is also a team player
  •   A thoughtful leader with a heart for service
  •   A principled person of consistent integrity
  • A person who values and pursues excellence

If you are this kind of person, or know someone who fits this profile, be sure to consider joining the Crane Leadership Roundtable. Fill out the application today. Apply Here!

3. What kind of commitment does this leadership experience require?

The Crane Leadership Roundtable experience encompasses four half-day training sessions (approximately 4-5 hours apiece) over a 6-week period for a total of 16-20 hours of time on-site.

Experientially, it also requires active participation in the process. Remember, your involvement in this cohort means that you likely took a spot from someone else who wanted to participate.

Regarding attendance expectations, you must complete each of the four sessions in order to graduate. That said, if unavoidable circumstances do arise that might prevent you from completing all four sessions, there is the possibility of working with our Crane leadership team to ensure your completion of the CLR experience through a future cohort.

Finally, because of the value-driven focus of the Crane Leadership Roundtable, we place an emphasis on personal responsibility, integrity, and ongoing commitment to the values that embody the Crane Leadership brand. Thus, every graduate of the Crane Leadership Roundtable experience will be expected to maintain their status as a “member in good standing” going forward through their personal and professional life.

4. When does the next cohort start?

The next CLR cohort begins Friday, April 26th and runs through Friday, June 7th. The deadline to submit your application is the Friday two weeks before the start date (Friday, April 12th). So, don’t wait! Apply now!

Please keep in mind that if you don’t get accepted into this coming cohort, or it fills up, there is the potential to be considered for the waitlist for the next CLR cohort or another cohort in the future. The dates for the next CLR are August 9th through September 20th.

5. Where will the roundtable sessions be located?

Each of the four leadership roundtable sessions will take place at locations in the greater Indianapolis, Indiana area. Upon acceptance into the program, all necessary logistical details will be communicated with each participant.

    This is an opportunity to invest in yourself and your professional growth. We recognize that your involvement in this experience will require a significant investment of time and resources. But we can confidently guarantee that you will receive tremendous value—both personally and professionally—that far exceeds the investment you will make in this roundtable experience.

    In order to secure your spot, the first payment of at least 25% of the total fee ($300) will be due on or before the beginning of the first session. And the Crane leadership team is more than happy to work with you to determine what kind of payment plan works best for your situation. You can make your online payments through this portal.
