G2LeadershipInstitute

The G2 Leadership Institute is a unique development program for the future leaders of successful advisory firms.

Program Overview

Sponsored exclusively by Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions, the G2 Leadership Institute develops the leadership and business management skills of professionals who are preparing themselves for leadership positions within their advisory firms.

The program is built around the concept of teamwork and business simulation. Each program participant is assigned to a team of peers who together run a realistically simulated independent firm. The team manages the firm and makes decisions on the firm’s future vision, strategy, growth initiatives and human capital investment.

The G2 Leadership Institute consists of the following program components:

  • Four in-person meetings over the course of two years
  • 18 high-impact WebEx conference calls
  • Monthly team calls focused on topics of leadership and personal effectiveness
  • Four business simulation planning assignments
  • One team presentation to a simulated board of directors
  • One leadership project for participants to develop and champion within their actual firms
