The demand for inspirational business leaders is both growing and changing. According to a 2022 HR survey from McLean & Company, a perceived leadership gap was the top priority among respondents, with 74 percent rating it as important or very important.
The report concludes: “Addressing the gap in leadership competencies will require more development offerings targeting these competencies at different levels (e.g., first-level managers, middle managers, and senior leaders).” Unlocking Your Leadership Signature provides the transformational approach to leadership development that today’s organizations are looking for. This unique program encourages introspection to help you identify and cultivate your personal leadership signature. It also demonstrates how to apply your leadership signature to your specific circumstances, regardless of where you are along your professional development path.
“The best way that you can lead is leading from who you are,” says Professor Deborah Ancona, founder of the MIT Leadership Center at the MIT Sloan School of Management and faculty director of the Unlocking Your Leadership Signature online program. “What is your leadership signature? What works for you based on your experience, your personality, and your strengths?”
Completing this online course will help you answer those questions. In the process, it will enable you to increase your value to the growing number of organizations that are seeking transformational approaches to meeting their leadership development goals.

"Getting into this course I knew there were things that I will uncover about myself and my leadership style to identify how I would like to change if I decide to change, but it simply exceeded my expectations by far with its approach, contents and structure of the course. I was very impressed with the research based learning topics and outcomes that the course brings forward about your self to know better. The structure of the course was apt with a good blend of self study, small group discussions and wider open forums and office hours to give enough opportunities for networking and collaboration. If you are looking to seriously invest in yourself and identifying the hidden leadership skills that you would want to nurture, go for this course, its worth spending time and money."
