WHO SHOULD APPLY

The program is intended for senior executives in government, business, and non-profit organizations who wish to understand better the personal aspects of leadership and to improve their capacity to lead. Because the participants’ own experiences are critical to the learning process, we will choose a class that is professionally and geographically diverse.

You should come prepared to exercise leadership in the classroom, help shape class conversation, and identify and question your own firmly held ideas about leadership. Since leadership is alive and well in any classroom setting, class dynamics will play an integral role in the program’s curriculum.

“Leadership for the 21st Century gave me the unparalleled opportunity to look deep within myself and to work hard to unlock any barriers that existed to my own self-development. I learned about my comfort zones – and I stepped out of them. Understanding better why I make certain choices, why I hold certain values so dear, and how to stretch my mind to new limits has helped me become a better professional, colleague, and person. -Participant, October 2003

“At the start of Leadership for the 21st Century, I was frustrated, mad, and uncomfortable. Never before had I been forced to examine myself so closely. By the program’s end, I was truly a different person. I was reenergized and renewed and I had a greater level of self-awareness than I’d ever had in my life. Leadership for the 21st Century was just the experience I needed at a crossroad in my career and in my life. In some ways, my experience moved me beyond words. The dedication and investment of the faculty, staff, and other participants to making this a life-changing experience is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.” – Participant, April 2004
