READING, Pa., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to the economic crisis, business leaders and entrepreneurs have a critical need for a new leadership skill set - the ability to collaborate, manage change, and motivate their team to drive results - and they are looking for ways to build these skills fast.

Landau Leadership, a global training organization, is taking leadership training outside of the classroom by offering a unique way to build the new leadership skill set on The Leadership Development Cruise. The five-day learning events feature affordable, all-inclusive tuition aboard beautiful cruise ships from the Royal Caribbean and Carnival fleet. Unlike typical training seminars, The Leadership Development Cruise offers participants a way to explore the hottest business topics through short lecturettes, facilitated discussions, and interactive team projects, with free time to enjoy shore visits and ship activities.

Leadership Expert and creator of The Leadership Development Cruise, Holly Landau, stated, "Learning and networking opportunities are maximized because each event is limited to just 35 leaders." Landau continued, "We're keeping the cruise events small so people can connect with each other and have a meaningful experience. This is nothing like a large-scale conference where you get lost in the shuffle."

Other facilitators include Collaboration and Change Management Expert Joe McIver who will challenge and support business leaders and entrepreneurs from all industries during the cruise events. "The cruise is an exciting way for leaders to learn the skills that unlock their potential. We've created hard-hitting curriculum and I can't think of a better setting for business leaders to explore it," McIver explained. Landau added, "We want to help drive individual results so we'll help participants create realistic action plans that they can implement right after the cruise. We're also offering post-event coaching with Business and Career Coach Deirdre Dalton-Brodeur."

In addition to expert classroom instruction, meals, and lodging, tuition also includes a follow-up webinar about thirty days after the cruise. Holly Landau stated, "Business leaders are seeing the value of the cruise events with all-inclusive tuition starting at just $2325. Leaders can bring a stateroom companion for only $500, it's really a great value."

The Leadership Development Cruise currently has three scheduled sail dates in 2010: Miami-Cozumel-Belize, Feb. 22-27 aboard Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Sea; Mobile AL-Cozumel-Calica, May 3-8 aboard Carnival's Fantasy; New York-Canada, Aug.14-19 aboard Carnival's Glory.

Registration is now open for all three cruise events on Landau Leadership's website. Corporate discounts are available. Landau Leadership will offer exclusive promo codes for The Leadership Development Cruise on Twitter: @LeadershipMuse
