Leading Leaders
Inspire your teams – and drive success in your organisation
in Open Executive Education in Belgium and #24 worldwide
You’re already an experienced leader. Now you want to go further, so you can steer your organisation through an uncertain business landscape. This journey of self-discovery is designed to help you grow both personally and professionally – and become an even more strategic leader.
Leading Leaders is an experiential programme that bridges individual and organisational leadership. You’ll reflect on your individual purpose – then dive into your organisation’s culture and discover how it links to its purpose and structure. You’ll gain fresh insights on decision making, leading change and leadership paradoxes that will motivate you to rethink your current leadership approach. And you’ll return to your role ready to lead your teams to success.
This six-day programme blends online and on-campus learning to support leaders on different paths. Learning is hands-on, with simulations, coaching and discussions with peers and faculty. Through it, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to develop a personal and organisational action plan that will inspire you and your teams.
