About the ELI:
The ELI¨ is a rigorous program for strengthening individual campaign skills. An intensive five-day program, the ELI¨ engages participants through a combination of workshops and a challenging simulation exercise. Each evening, participants apply the lessons of the dayÕs workshops during their group simulation work allowing them to internalize the information for greater retention. Participants work in teams throughout the week, producing comprehensive campaign plans based on fictional political scenarios. Participants acquire hands-on experience with the following professional skills: Strategic planning, message creation, meeting facilitation, fundraising, budgeting, negotiating, earned media, audience targeting, the use of polling data, message discipline, decision-making, and group dynamics.
The specific qualities of leadership that are developed and improved are:
-
Thinking and executing plans strategically
-
Ability to identify, recruit, and mobilize people and resources to win
-
Developing a compelling message and communicating persuasively
-
Understanding the relationship between products and process
-
Identifying your individual strengths and weaknesses as a leader
