This course focuses on helping you become a great leader. The most effective leaders understand that their role is to inspire others to do extraordinary work and maximize collective success. The course includes four components designed to cultivate your leadership capabilities:
Assessment feedback detailing your leadership skills and related competencies to increase self-awareness. We use cutting edge assessments of you as a leader and the culture and strategic clarity you create for others.
Interaction with prominent leaders to gain a perspective on how they think about complex organizational challenges. This semester, we will welcome two to three prominent leaders to our classroom. Speakers are currently being finalized.
In-class experiential exercises that will identify effective behavioral approaches to leading others and help you gauge your opportunities for improvement.
Focused teamwork analyzing a leader's successes and challenges in real time.
