The three C's area t the core of most successful leadership development progams and are part of the foundation for our own New Young Professionals Network leadership program.

Our research into best-of-breed "Corporate Universities" found the most successful programs included a curriculum based on the Three C's:

1. Context - Understanding the business & competitive context of the company/firm and the industry
2. Competency - Obtaining the necessary skills and abilities to succeed in the job levels within the organization
3. Citizenship - Learning how to become involved in the communities, industry, and their Profession

When you factor in the additional impact of the generational research (understanding millenials) and talent recruitment and retention - this tekes on even more significance.
