Firstly I feel priviledged to have been part of the MLP program. The MLP course of 1999 was one of the major influences in my career. The opportunity to spend a week immersed in the matters of leadership with the likes of the Jeanne Liedtka was a rare an valuable one. It is an opportunity that is valuable for all emerging leaders in the cultural institutions.
Whilst there is a place for shorter focussed courses for leaders (think fast food), I do believe that a longer residential courses (think slow food) offer different experiences an a chance to connect more deeply. Whilst we have had the benefit of the course, and also refreshers, it is possible to easily overlook the extent of impact of the course when our current needs can be satisfied by short courses.
We all have an opinion however perhaps a logical approach might be to commission a study to try and assess the impact.
