Shining Light in the Midst of Darkness
Leaders have always been confronted by the duty of inspiring others while making important decisions with incomplete information. Today’s leaders are confronted with challenges and opportunities that have never been more dynamic or complex. The Usild program of Leadership for Senior Executives is exactly designed to help leaders effectively understand and manage these forces.
Leadership for Senior Executives
In today’s times of dynamic change and advanced technology the world is becoming more and more dominated by uncertainty and constant change that has generated an urgent need in organizations of all types and sizes for Senior Executives who have the courage and skills to reinvent and transform organizations, communities, nations, or our world for the benefits of people. Between expanding globalization, rapid technological shifts, and evolving social norms, how can leaders make the right strategic decisions and leadership choices? In the Leadership for Senior Executives program, you will learn how to manage this uncertainty by exploring five different roles: leader as beacon, leader as coach, leader as innovator, leader as change agent, and leader as architect.
