"PLD was life-and career-changing. It improved my knowledge, confidence, and skill in business finance, added to my knowledge of global economics, and gave me tools to develop and execute strategy across business functions. But more than that, it gave me very clear direction for improving my leadership skills. I know what I need to do. I have cases to turn to for help. I have networks to refer to. I have more clarity on my leadership and its value to the business. This program is designed to help you be the best general manager you can be."
