Leadership

About Programme

The shift from managing a team to leading within an organization can be difficult to navigate. With greater seniority comes greater responsibility. In order to deliver long-term results for both you and your organization, you need to lead, not manage.

Rising leaders need to shift their perspective to a broader lens that encompasses the entire organization. To really make an impact, you’ll need to amplify your interpersonal leadership skills – the soft skills that will differentiate you from the rest of the pack.

Building on your experience and analysis of your personal leadership style, the Ivey Leadership Program will help you develop your leadership potential. Armed with enhanced influence and persuasion skills and the ability to think big picture, you will confidently make the shift from managing to leading.

Testimonials

"This by far is the best leadership program that I’ve been on. [Ivey] gave me concrete tools to bring back with me to the office, but also gave me a chance to reflect on my leadership journey and better define my own style. It was the perfect balance of theory, networking and practice!"

Valery Brennan

"This has been a tremendous experience that is worth the money and time invested. Leadership is not about telling people who or how to do things, but truly taking people from where they are to where they ought to be. This program covered so many aspects of leadership on how to take my people from where they are to where they ought to be."
