For the third year, Leadership Excellence magazine has released its ranking of the best Leadership Development (LD) programs in the country.

"Every organization benefits from developing its people through some program or process," says Ken Shelton, editor since 1984. "The best programs are designed to deliver outcomes aligned with the vision and strategy. They build bench strength--a pipeline of people who are prepared to step up and lead out when the calls comes or the opportunity arises."

Leadership Excellence Selection Criteria

Considering hundreds of programs, Shelton selected 160 based on seven criteria:

1. Vision/mission. Are these statements linked to strategy, meaningful to participants, and focused on target outcomes?

2. Involvement and participation. How broad is the involvement and how deep the participation?

3. Measurement and accountability. What ROI measures are made and reported and to what degree is accountability for performance and results part of the program?

4. Design, content, and curriculum. How well designed is the program? How credible is the content? How relevant is the curriculum? How customized is the program?

5. Presenters, presentations, and delivery. What are the qualifications of the presenters, how effective are their presentations, and how is the program delivered?

6. Take-home value. What do participants take away and apply to improve themselves, their families, their teams, and their volunteer work?

7. Outreach, outcomes. What is the impact of the program on the organization and its various stakeholders?



"Having this criteria," says Shelton, "helps us to weed out those programs that may be well intentioned but lack substance and fail to deliver promised results."

Dr. Edward J. Domanskis, a plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California, is encouraging his female patients to shave their faces to forestall the aging process.

"One of the purported secrets of Japanese women maintaining their youthful appearance and flawless skin is that they regularly shave their faces," says Dr. Domanskis. Shaving results in an exfoliation of dead cells, which removes several layers of skin, causing irritation and consequent skin tightening, and plumping of the remaining cells.

Andy will be working closely with the Team and the Friends of Rams Cycling (alumni booster) to further develop the program, making Colorado State University a destination school for cyclists.

Growing up in Colorado Springs, Andy started out as a track racer, competing on the 7 Eleven Velodrome.

He spent the next three years racing in Europe and then returned to compete on the professional circuit in the U.S. for the last seven years. Andy raced for the U.S. National Team in Europe and in South America. He has also raced for pro teams including Colorado Cyclist, Tokyo Jos, and most recently Team Rio Grand from Fort Collins. He returned to CSU, completing his B.A. in History in 1998. This past fall his wife Lisa gave birth to their first child, a girl named Harper. Andy has since retired to be a stay at home dad. He said, I am very excited about the opportunity to work with the collegiate cycling program I raced on while in college."
