The Banff Centre: Go here if you’d like leadership training that takes cues from the arts. In an unexpected bit of synergy, the Banff Centre’s well-known slate of arts workshops profoundly influences its leadership teachings. While many of the Centre’s courses employ such standard tools as 360-degree assessments and Myers-Briggs questionnaires, Banff’s artists-in-residence often facilitate programs to inject a non-biz perspective. The Art of the Executive Leader, for example, brings in actors and theatre directors to coach managers on how to exude an appropriately patrician air.
