Management and Leadership

Leadership isn’t what it used to be. Increasingly, leaders are accountable for the economic and social welfare of the entire enterprise while simultaneously running a business unit. They are charged with leading teams through significant transitions. They must overcome capability gaps to effectively lead a digital business. And they must cultivate a diverse, inclusive workforce that can readily adapt to change.

The research and insights of our faculty can help you transform your leadership strategy and approach for this new world of work. Pursuing an Executive Certificate in Management and Leadership will help you deepen and broaden your leadership capabilities and provide you with a set of management tools that will serve you well, regardless of your industry.

What you will learn
The Executive Certificate in Management and Leadership is an ideal option for business professionals and technical executives seeking to enhance their general management and leadership skills to become effective leaders in a dynamic business world. Courses in this track focus on core business competencies including marketing, finance, negotiations, change management, systems thinking, and more

For example, in Negotiation for Executives, you can practice key skills and frameworks for enhancing personal gains in negotiation while simultaneously sustaining important relationships. Build on those core skills with Unlocking the Power of Perspectives, a course that will alter how you lead, listen, collaborate, negotiate, and connect with others. Update your management approach for the current business landscape with Cybersecurity Leadership for Non-Technical Executives, where you’ll acquire a personalized playbook for creating a more cyber-aware culture within your organization.

Featured course

Unlocking the Power of Perspectives: Problem Solving with Clarity, Creativity, and Collaboration

This critical thinking and problem solving course is highly interactive—be prepared to participate and engage. You will work individually and in groups to better understand the value of different perspectives and how to incorporate those perspectives into your management and leadership styles. As you build rapport with your peers, you’ll complete challenges related to the tension of holding conflicting perspectives, starting at different reference points, and tracking and learning from healthy differentiation. Stepping outside the conventional business context, you will take inspiration from the work of jazz musicians to understand how to organize, communicate, and connect with others while engaging in change.
