Opleiding: Emerging Leaders Program // Vom Mitarbeitenden zur Führungskraft

In cooperation with SDA Bocconi School of Management, with one module taking place in Milan, the Emerging Leaders Program offers an international learning experience to shape your leadership journey.

High-potentials assigned to their first significant leadership role need to prove themselves to their superiors, their teams, and peers. Succeeding requires a profound change in both skills and mindset: from a talent who delivers value individually to a leader who creates value with and through others. The Emerging Leaders Program is designed to enable you to manage this critical transition and realize your full leadership potential.

• Explore the multi-faceted challenges of leadership and its psychological and ethical foundations.
