The AUC Onsi Sawiris School of Business Executive Education (ExecEd) has joined forces with ECHEM to launch the ECHEM Leadership Elevation Program, a three-tiered initiative designed to develop leaders across all levels of the organization.

Designed for upward mobility, the program targets ECHEM’s rising leaders, including department heads, assistant general managers and general managers. The initiative delivers a structured learning journey that arms participants with cutting-edge management skills and strategic leadership insights, preparing them to thrive in a dynamic environment.

The first track, Aspiring Leadership, focuses on foundational management skills. This 30-hour program, delivered over five days, builds the groundwork for proactive, effective, and efficient leadership. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with both academic and practical knowledge to accelerate their growth toward the assistant general manager level.

Next comes the Catalysts Program, a six-day course tailored for assistant general managers. It dives into strategic management and authentic leadership, and features the Harvard Mount Everest Simulation, which enhances decision-making and teamwork under pressure.

At the top, the Visionaries Program prepares general managers for executive roles. This six-day program emphasizes strategic planning and organizational culture, capped off with the Hogan Assessment — a personality-based leadership evaluation — followed by one-on-one executive coaching.

The first two stages have already been delivered, with ExecEd now working closely with ECHEM to roll out the final stage, which targets the highest level of management. By ensuring sustainable and measurable capacity building, ExecEd empowers participants not only to adapt to leadership challenges, but to proactively shape the future of their organization with confidence and strategic vision.
