Humanistic Leadership Program (for MBA Students)

Humanistic Leadership Program (for MBA Students)

The world needs more human-centered leaders.

MBA students hunger for additional learning to prepare them for the multi-disciplinary challenges they will encounter in the world. Today’s business leaders face a complicated and ever-growing array of considerations, including sustainability, talent development, strategic planning, social responsibility and more.

Through a unique partnership with academia and industry, the Humanistic Leadership Program is designed to complement existing MBA curriculum by focusing on the interpersonal characteristics, leadership skills and mindset necessary to thrive in this environment.

Humanistic Leadership Program participants will distinguish themselves to potential employers, network with other like-minded students/professors, and develop critical reflection skills to drive growth throughout their careers while contributing meaningfully to society.

I no longer feel alone in this adventure of humanizing business, and especially in helping millions of people find their highest calling in their work and in their lives.
