Developing Yourself as a Leader—Virtual

Through a rich learning experience that includes live online case discussions, self-paced learning, and personal development mentors you will assess, design, and prepare for your leadership trajectory. You will have self-assessments that identify your leadership profile and the opportunity to design and map out the leader you strive to be. There will be a focus on utilizing your leadership skills to avoid the most common pitfalls that derail emerging leaders while building not just an effective but also transformational career.

Over the course of 12 high-impact weeks, you'll experience the power of the Harvard Business School Live Online Classroom—discussing, debating, and engaging live with faculty and peers. The live classroom sessions will take place every Tuesday between January 19 and April 6 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET. Participants will need to log into the Live Online Classroom 30 minutes before the start of each session to conduct a technical check.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of the experience. To maximize the benefit for everyone, you are expected to attend every session, complete all assignments, and contribute effectively in the class, in small groups, and in the on-going Slack discussion among your classmates and faculty. We advise setting aside a total of 3 hours per week for program work in addition to the live online class sessions. As a participant, you will receive a one-year license to Quantified Communications as part of your course tuition.
