Collaborative Leadership Program

Collaborative Leadership Program

Many leadership programs generally allow participants to discover their unique strengths and build on them.

We take it one step further. We help you become a leader who both knows their own strengths and relies on collaborating with others to complete complex initiatives successfully.

Our year-long, two-part elective course sequence plus a community service experience is designed to empower emerging leaders. You'll develop the skills necessary to build and guide effective teams, anchored in shared responsibility and values-based decision-making.

You'll learn how to inspire, connect with, and support others in achieving collective goals through a combination of self-assessment, practical exercises, case studies and lectures. We emphasize building trust and network connections, communicating effectively across diverse stakeholders, and cultivating a supportive and productive workplace. You'll be prepared to lead with empathy, integrity, and a collaborative spirit, ready to make a transformative impact in your career and communities.

What is a collaborative leader?

A collaborative leader builds coalitions across stakeholders, accepts responsibility, and demonstrates values-based leadership.
