PULSE™ stands for Path Upward for Leading Senior Executives and is specifically developed for the TSE program. The program’s centripetal force is simple: design a program for seasoned transportation leaders across the country that meets them at their point of need and prepares them for the next bold step in their careers.
This uniquely curated program is for individuals who are interested in refining leadership and high-level intrapersonal skills, brazenly confronting areas of weakness (we all have them) through a 360-analysis, applying leading-edge strategic techniques to challenging real-world situations and, at the core, emerging as powerful leaders in their organizations and the transportation industry.
The TSE program is tailored for senior-level managers who possess a strong commitment to the transportation industry and currently serve in a senior leadership role. Typically, individuals who attend the TSE program are 1-3 levels removed from the C-Suite, lead a team of direct reports, have at least 3 years’ experience in a senior or executive role, and are ready to advance their careers, ultimately, to the #1 or #2 helm positions in transportation leadership – whether private, public, or federal.
Applicants who have successfully completed other leadership programs will be given priority consideration by the Selection Committee, including completion of the Eno Transportation Mid-Manager Program and Eno/MAX, and other premier leadership programs such as those offered by APTA, Advancing Women in Transportation (WTS), Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO), and the National Transit Institute (NTI).
Applications for the 2024 TSE Program are now open. The deadline to submit an application is Friday, February 2, 2024 by 11:59pm EST.
