Leading in a business school today means navigating competing priorities, complex relationships, and constant change—often without clear guidance. Whether you are managing a program or contributing to key initiatives, you play a critical role in shaping outcomes for students and fellow faculty and staff at your institution.

Through real-world scenarios and guided reflection, you’ll learn how to apply these skills in the situations you face every day. By the end of the course, you won’t just understand leadership; you’ll have a clear, personalized action plan to lead with greater confidence, purpose, and impact in your role.
