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 into decision-making, change management and leadership 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 6-day programme consists of 2 residential modules of 3 days each. During the breaks and in the evenings, you'll experience the power of networking with peers who face similar challenges and opportunities, but in different contexts and industries.
