Manager & Supervisor Development · Next Generation Leaders
Kern and Partners / Los AngelesFor the people you want running things in three to five years. They learn to lead across functions, think past their own department and make the calls senior roles require.
The problem
Your high-potential people need opportunities to grow and a clear view of what comes next. Give them experience beyond their own function before a larger role opens.
What they learn
Leading across functions they don’t control.
Thinking about the whole business, not just their department.
Making decisions with incomplete information, and saying what would change their mind.
Solving problems with peers from other departments.
Working with AI and with people, and knowing which work needs which.
Helping their teams understand and work through change.
How it runs
Your senior executives co-teach this program. That’s the point. Your next leaders learn how your company really works from the people running it, and your executives get sharper by teaching. Each participant takes on a real cross-functional problem during the program and presents what they did about it.
What changes
A stronger bench for future leadership roles.
High performers who can see their future with you.
More options to develop and promote leaders from within.

Questions
Give them a real stretch, a visible path and time with senior leaders. A program where your executives teach does all three. Pay matters, but many high performers leave because they’ve stopped growing.
It’s a program where a company’s own executives teach the next generation of leaders, usually alongside outside faculty. The leaders who teach learn the material more deeply, and participants hear it from the people they’ll eventually report to.
Help them practice coaching, support career growth and teach useful AI workflows before they take on a larger team.
