The E3 Leadership Academy Foundations Workshop is a research-informed, practice-driven learning experience designed for emerging and established leaders who want a clearer understanding of how leadership and followership shape organizational outcomes.

The workshop begins with foundational concepts in organizational design, including how structure, systems, decision-making, and culture interact to influence performance. Participants examine how leaders and followers affect these elements through everyday choices and behaviors, and how those influences accumulate over time.

By connecting academic frameworks with real-world examples, the Foundations Workshop helps participants develop a more practical and realistic view of leadership, grounded in clarity, alignment, and shared responsibility.
