PLD Module 5: Earning HBS Alumni Status

The Program for Leadership Development (PLD) put you on the fast track to leadership. In PLD Module 5, you have the rare opportunity to build on that momentum, continue to expand your leadership skills, and earn lifelong HBS alumni status. This intensive, two-week program takes a deep dive into the qualities of exceptional leaders around the world who are inspiring stakeholders, reshaping organizations, and redefining industries. You will prepare to become an authentic leader who can inspire others and contribute at a higher level to your organization's success.

This program is offered exclusively to past PLD participants who wish to continue developing as leaders and contribute more significantly to their company's growth. We strongly encourage you to take a six-month break following PLD so that you may apply what you’ve learned in your organization before returning to campus for PLD Module 5.

Program for Leadership Development participants earn 10 PLDA Points on completion of this program.
