Technical expertise got you here, but leading through ambiguity, resistance, and rapid change requires a different toolkit: managing conflict productively, using AI to amplify your influence across the organization, and becoming the leader your organization needs right now.
Join a cohort of mid-to-senior leaders for six weeks of intensive development. Each week, you'll learn from a different Daniels School of Business faculty expert through focused online modules, then gather with your cohort for a live 75-minute Leadership Lab to apply concepts to real challenges, get answers, and learn from peers navigating similar leadership transitions. By week six, you'll have both new frameworks and a trusted network of fellow leaders.
Emotional Intelligence, AI, and Audience-Centered Communication
—Dr. Kasie Roberson
“The use of AI in business communication should begin with people-first, emotionally intelligent communication.”
Building Positive Work Relationships
—Dr. Kate Zipay
“Connection doesn’t require more time—it requires more intention. Build it into how you lead, not as something to do on the side.”
Negotiations and Handling Conflict
—Dr. Brian Dineen
“Leaders are unquestionably challenged by environmental uncertainty. We will explore ways in which leaders can factor uncertainty into their dealmaking.”
Executive Presence: Communicating with Confidence and Authenticity
—Prof. Aryca Woodson
“Learn to maintain a calm, grounded executive presence—helping others feel confident in their leadership, even when conditions are changing and answers aren’t always clear.”
Positioned for Success: Maximizing Growth Amid Rapid Change
—Dr. Brad Alge
“To maintain intellectual humility, a leader needs to stay curious: there’s always more to know.”
Motivating Employees to Maximize Performance and Well-Being
—Dr. Allison Gabriel
“Stop asking only ‘how do I motivate people?’ and start asking ‘why would this work feel meaningful to them?’”
