Executive Leadership Development: Analysis to Action

Executive Leadership Development prepares you to analyze critically, lead confidently, and articulate strategically. This comprehensive three-module program includes analysis and action — with an emphasis on the action. The program’s unique structure, with two on-campus modules and one on-the-job module in between, allows you to apply what you learn to real-world business challenges and put new leadership skills into practice.

The carefully-developed curriculum follows Stanford’s MBA Program across three key themes: business acumen, innovation, and leadership. Module one begins on campus with general management fundamentals, and hands-on design thinking. Then, you’ll return to your office to work on a design challenge for your company and develop your leadership style and effectiveness with Stanford’s proprietary 360º leadership assessment. The third module back on campus gives you an opportunity to get feedback on your design challenge and hone your personal leadership skills with one-on-one coaching. Post-program coaching sessions and a 360º reassessment keep you engaged and accountable long after your complete the program.

Over the course of three months, you will work closely with Stanford GSB faculty, and collaborate in small groups with highly motivated global peers to share business challenges, gain relevant insights, and develop a valuable network that extends far beyond the classroom.
