Live Virtual Course
Leading With Humanity: New Skills for the Digital Age
Overview
There is nothing like the present upheaval to put a focus on how important great leadership is to any organization. In this program, we take a different approach to leadership, one which puts the idea of the leader as servant as central, and see how this enables you to grow as a leader and create better results for your organization.
This unique program features live virtual sessions, diagnostic assessments, coaching session and leadership reflections. Live virtual classes will meet for 4 hours per day, with project and team work to be done outside of the live sessions. Led by the Darden faculty team of Professors Ed Hess, Sankaran Venkataraman and Andy Wicks.
This program counts towards the Specialization in Future-Ready Leadership.
