The article focuses on the Challenge projects of the Simonton Leadership Challenge, developed by Lake Forest Corporate Education, a business unit of Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, and Simonton Windows of Parkersburg, West Virginia. Planning for the company's continued success and expansive growth, Simonton's training director, Pete Rawlings, envisioned an innovative leadership program that would help build Simonton's leadership bench strength at all levels of the organization. Experts from Lake Forest Corporate Education and trainers and senior management from Simonton worked closely to understand what capabilities Simonton leaders needed to achieve the objectives of the company and identified the key competencies those leaders would need in the future. The result: the Simonton Leadership Challenge, a nine-day certificate program. The Leadership Challenge includes three, three-day courses, each building on the knowledge and skills learned in the previous sessions and culminating in a leadership certificate. Participants focus on such core competencies as strategy execution, financial acumen and communication.
