Build Enterprise-Level Strategy And Leadership Skills
Today's dynamic business environment requires organizations to rethink their C-suite capabilities to navigate leadership challenges and ensure long-term growth. This has led to a rise in non-traditional leadership roles, such as chief innovation officer, chief diversity officer and chief sustainability officer. In addition to functional expertise, multifaceted leadership that prioritizes the interests of both the organization and people is vital. Executives must cultivate self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and an enterprise mindset to thrive and succeed.
The Emerging C-Suite Leaders Program from Executive Education at Kellogg School of Management is designed to encourage big-picture thinking and help you transition to the highest levels of your organization. This unique seven-month program will equip you with the skills needed to meet the demands of the modern C-suite and be an enterprise leader.
