Course description
Ivey Emerging Leaders Program
Explore your personal approach as a new leader. Learn to inspire action, navigate conflict, and manage change for your team.
New leaders often face the same challenge: learning to inspire, collaborate with, and rely on a team – instead of their own technical expertise. Effectively managing direct reports requires a shift in perspective and new approaches to learning.
The Ivey Emerging Leaders program is designed to help you build a foundation for success in your long-term leadership journey through a combination of self-assessment, peer learning, simulations, and faculty-led case discussions. Mindfully explore your personal approach to leadership, and work on constructing your future path. Network virtually with other leaders from across industries, learning best-practices and finding actionable takeaways for your own organization. Leap into your leadership potential with the Ivey Emerging Leaders Program.
