A seven-week program creates the opportunity to build close, trusting relationships with a small, diverse group of peer executives who can understand your challenges—but are not part of your organization. Your living group will stimulate your learning each day as you:
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. During the first and third weeks, 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 weaknesses through two 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.
The program allows you to dig deeply into timely topics that are important to you and your company, such as corporate governance, entrepreneurship, strategic marketing, and digital strategy. In addition, a series of inspirational seminars helps to foster self-reflection and prompt you to rethink, redefine, and reinvigorate your individual leadership approach.
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.
You will have a unique opportunity to hear from some of the business world's most influential and innovative CEOs—often the case protagonists—who share how they overcame diverse business and leadership challenges. HBS thought leaders will be on hand to share their latest research, industry insights, and special expertise.
During a three-day break midway through the program, we will invite your family members to participate in an optional two-day, on-campus program that includes special class sessions, social gatherings, and children's activities. If you prefer, you can use the time to travel home or explore New England.
The Advanced Management Program is developed and taught by a multidisciplinary team of HBS faculty who are widely recognized as skilled educators, groundbreaking researchers, and award-winning authors. Through their board memberships, consulting, and field-based research, they address the complex challenges facing business leaders across the globe.
