The road to great leadership is a journey that lends itself to continuous improvement. While you may have experience in many of the areas our subject matter will cover, the course is designed to help leaders “do better” – not just “know better.” We bring the real world into the classroom for this course and help students leverage strengths and close gaps.
I am just out of school and in my first entry level job. I am not sure what career path I want to take. Is a leadership class the right fit for me?
The course covers materials that is relevant for people in all stages of their careers. No matter what path you take, the skills you will be exposed to in this course will help you succeed. We have a module dedicated to career acceleration which helps you think strategically about your career opportunities.
This class is virtual. I am not sure I will be as engaged as I would be if the class was in person. Although the class is virtual, the format of the course is designed to be highly engaging and focus on peer learning in addition to instructor-led content. My goal is for you to finish the semester with a strong network of colleagues that you can leverage / connect with going forward.
