The Era of the Trans­for­ma­tion­al Leader

Krach Trans­for­ma­tion­al Lead­ers Work­shop is a four-day lead­er­ship immer­sion event that focus­es on the per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment of Sig­ma Chi under­grad­u­ates, devel­op­ing them into Trans­for­ma­tion­al Lead­ers in their chap­ters and on their campuses.

In 2025, through Sig­ma Chi Lead­er­ship Insti­tute (SCLI), Sig­ma Chi will enroll its mem­bers into Krach TLW. This year, par­tic­i­pants will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate in one of four lead­er­ship cer­tifi­cates that will offer edu­ca­tion to pre­pare par­tic­i­pants for evolv­ing chap­ter and cam­pus cul­tures, the impor­tance of val­ues-based account­abil­i­ty, and a recom­mit­ment to the prin­ci­ples of foun­da­tion­al leadership. 

This is a major endeav­or in the Krach TLW cul­ture that has evolved over a 75-year his­to­ry, replac­ing offi­cer train­ing with Broth­er Krach’s ulti­mate vision, empow­er­ing Trans­for­ma­tion­al Lead­ers to sharp­en their social skills to return to their cam­pus and inspire change and inno­va­tion with­in their under­grad­u­ate chap­ters and in their communities.

Each Sig­ma Chi stu­dent will be led by cer­ti­fied Sig­ma Chi Facil­i­ta­tor Acad­e­my fac­ul­ty mem­bers in small-group ses­sions, designed to cul­ti­vate authen­tic dis­cus­sions about lead­er­ship chal­lenges our young men face daily.

Pathways to
Transformation

  • Track 1

    Val­ues-Based Leadership

    Align­ing Self

    What is impor­tant to you? What mat­ters most in your life? The answers to these ques­tions are found in your val­ues. Your val­ues should guide your deci­sions, your rela­tion­ships, and how you approach your aca­d­e­m­ic jour­ney and pro­fes­sion­al career. Engage in real-world case stud­ies to bet­ter under­stand how your val­ues dri­ve your inter­ac­tions in all aspects of life. Dis­cov­er the source of holis­tic well-being as you exam­ine what it means to be a val­ues-based leader in today’s world.

  • Track 3

    Ser­vant Leadership

    Empow­er­ing Others

    Ser­vant lead­er­ship sounds coun­ter­in­tu­itive, right? But the most influ­en­tial lead­ers aren’t all-pow­er­ful dic­ta­tors. They know how to reach fol­low­ers with authen­tic­i­ty, care, and a ser­vice-ori­ent­ed heart. Unlock the pow­er of this oth­ers-focused approach in build­ing effec­tive teams and engag­ing with pro­duc­tive feed­back. You’ll gain valu­able insight into behav­ioral styles to improve your lead­er­ship com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills here. The pos­i­tive impact on your men­tor­ing rela­tion­ships, coach­ing con­ver­sa­tions, and col­lab­o­ra­tion will be exponential.
