COO, Executive Leadership Council
building tomorrow’s leaders today
Andrew Frazier beams with pride as the cavalcade of middle managers
into the Executive Leadership Council’s annual summit continually
increases. Frazier said the ELC’s Mid-Level Managers’
Symposium provides an intellectual and strategic platform to help
catapult upwardly mobile businesspeople into the upper echelon of
multinational corporations.
“The Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium is an opportunity to
expose middle managers to various corporations across the
country,” he says, “so this year we’re focusing on
adaptable leadership strategies so they can learn how [to] become a
more adaptive leader or be more successful within their own
organization.”
Frazier, christened the chief operating officer of the ELC less than a
year ago, boasted about the multiplicity of ELC initiatives that
protect African Americans from adversity and prepare them for eventual
challenges. The initiatives include the Black Women’s Summit in
New York, the Annual Fall Meeting Dinner, and the CEO Summit, which is
a forum of Fortune 500 CEOs and the most senior African American
executives.
Senior level executives share common characteristics that those
aspiring to such heights must possess or procure in order to even be
considered.
“Discipline and hard work; that’s the first thing that
people look for … being able to work well with others,” he
says. “In this environment, you can’t do everything
yourself. You have to be able to work well within a team.” – terry shropshire
