Both program formats provide the time and support you need to build trusting relationships with a group of peers outside your organization who not only can understand your challenges, but also can provide objective feedback. Each day, you will gain new insights by:
You will assess your personal leadership strengths and weaknesses through a 360-degree leadership and personality assessment.
Our distinctive coaching method is highly integrated into the program to accelerate both individual and team growth. You and your peers will meet with your professional HBS executive coach to accelerate the living group process. Your coach will also help you assess your personal leadership strengths and gaps through one-on-one sessions—one focused on your 360-degree leadership and personality assessment at the start of the program and another focused on your reentry strategy following the program. All coaching sessions are strictly confidential, giving you the freedom to share your personal goals and professional challenges.
Throughout the program you will work on developing a personal case. Your personal case will involve building a comprehensive strategy and implementation plan that will address a personal leadership challenge or strategic opportunity facing your organization. As you develop your personal case, the faculty, your living group, and your HBS Executive Coach will deliver feedback that will help you fine-tune your action plan.
Members of the Advanced Management Program faculty are often available to meet with you one-on-one and provide new perspectives on your business challenges.
You will have exclusive access to unparalleled resources that you can use to extend your learning, investigate topics of personal and professional importance, and identify new learning objectives.
