Growing as a Purposeful Leader
The Impact of Purposeful Leadership
The Impact of Purposeful Leadership
Summary
The demands of today's stakeholders have risen significantly, and what is expected of senior leaders is quickly evolving in terms of their mission (more than profit), the scope of their responsibilities (beyond the four walls of the business), and how they should lead (not as superheroes and not just as good business leaders, but also as great human leaders).
In this program, you will prepare to become an authentic, purposeful leader who can step up to more challenging roles and lead effectively in this new era. You will develop new capabilities and learn new tools and approaches on how to orient your business around a noble, meaningful and credible purpose, set strategies that can help the chosen purpose come to life (addressing the needs of your company's varied stakeholders in the process), and create an environment that can unleash the potential of your organization. In parallel, the program will guide you in a profoundly personal exploration that builds your self-awareness and emotional intelligence, delving into the core of your experience to strengthen your capacities as a great purposeful, authentic human leader, not just a great business leader.
