Advanced Leadership

As an accomplished leader with significant scope and responsibility, you are navigating a pivotal transition in your leadership. Your impact now depends less on personal expertise and more on your ability to orchestrate excellence across your organization.

In this chapter of your career, you’re leading others who may know more than you do in their domains. You’re no longer executing strategy – you’re shaping it. You’re expected to set the agenda, establish clear priorities, and create an environment where others excel.

Your stakeholder landscape is evolving too. Internally, you’re now engaging directly with the executive team and collaborating across functions in ways you didn’t before. Externally, you may be navigating relationships with government officials, regulators, board members, and the media. As your influence grows, everything you say or do carries more weight.

At some point, you’ve probably thought: “What got me here won’t get me there.” This program is about getting you there.

IMD’s Advanced Leadership program combines cutting-edge research and the Program Director’s extensive experience with enterprise leadership transitions. You’ll explore how to build your leadership brand, share power, manage a complex stakeholder ecosystem, and maintain a growth mindset.
