About This Course

This four-week program is designed for new and emerging leaders (people managers and individual contributors) who want to build foundational leadership skills through hands-on experience. Participants will build skills across four different dimensions and apply them in a simulated business experience. Content includes:

  • Setting direction.

  • Developing people and conducting effective conversations. 

  • Working across functions and other boundaries. 

  • Thinking strategically.

Course Overview

We have many stakeholders in our company - from team members to leadership to clients. This is all very relevant as a project manager who is front-facing across all groups.
