Emerging Leaders Immersive

The NZIM Emerging Leaders Immersive programme, supported by the NZIM Emerging Leaders Scholarship, is a professional development pathway for ambitious young professionals aged 40 or younger, driven to accelerate their career progression through personal and professional growth.

Programme Outline

During this week-long immersive programme an Emerging Leader will be provided with an opportunity to build and develop their core business acumen, leadership capability and expand their natural strengths. They will work with a cohort of peers, providing them with robust learning discussions and a platform of networks for the future.

Emerge Capability Assessment

Our unique Emerge Assessment system will support the Emerging Leader and their manager to make the right development choices, provide them with constructive feedback and ensure they are developing leadership capability in the key areas that will provide them with the greatest professional growth opportunities.

The Emerge Assessment system examines eight key results areas:

1. Vision 2. Empowerment of others 3. Environment 4. Contribution 5. Focus 6. Strategy 7. Commercial acumen 8. Self-awareness.

The series of personalised questions probe and deepen the understanding of individual development opportunities. Managers also receive an assessment to complete, adding to the robustness of the system.
