There are so many things about Leadership that they don’t teach at MBA School

Leadership is all about lifting people and their organizations to a higher level. It goes well beyond the management of data, finances, scheduling, systems, customers, and assets. Leadership is both relational and inspirational – with so many other intangible competencies and skills that make it more of a teachable art rather than an impersonal science. Regardless of personality, style, culture, or organizational structure (public, private or non-profit), there are many seldom taught, but essential principles and pedagogy that should constitute a good Leadership Development Program. The Professional Leader series of modules is intended to fill that gap.
