Strategic Leadership

Overview

By joining this executive education program, you can expect to strengthen your leadership skills, sharpen your strategic thinking and become inspired to lead high-performing teams and achieve your leadership ambitions. With an emphasis on the practitioner perspective, you will focus on real-life challenges drawn from your own professional experience, addressing organizational issues in a sustainable and cross-cultural context which will help raise your leadership profile within your organization.

A powerful component of this program is the Contemporary Issues in Leadership module. This elective brings a further practical dimension to the program through lectures and discussions with influential business and political leaders during a one-week overseas field trip. The aim is to expose you to the challenges faced by international leaders and enable you to draw parallels to your own organization’s issues.   

Italy is the destination for our 2018 trip. Students will meet with a senior figure to discuss relations between the Vatican and the Muslim world, the Chief Human Resources Officer of the World Economic Forum, the Chief International Relations Officer for Milan Expo 2015, senior diplomats and other leading figures.

The program has a Fall intake for Abu Dhabi and Spring intake for Dubai.
