Today’s leaders are facing unprecedented challenges as they try to navigate the complex business climate. From managing a multigenerational workforce or diverse employees with different expectations about the workplace to fielding the demands of stakeholders who want companies to step up to solve critical societal issues, more is being asked of leaders than ever before. To succeed in this new world of work, modern leaders need new skills and insights so they can use their power with intention. They must foster democratic, people-focused, people-driven cultures that empower teams across a myriad of locations.

This course is designed for leaders who are eager to step up and increase their impact. First, we’ll address the changing landscape and why traditional leadership models are failing. You’ll gain insight into the foundations of today’s best-in-class companies and the leaders who run them. Then, we will focus on the six essential power skills of modern leadership—humility, empathy, accountability, resiliency, transparency, and inclusivity. You’ll complete the HEARTI leadership self-assessment and see your current state compared with thousands of leaders around the globe. With that insight, you’ll have a better understanding of how you can use your power to become the leader we all want and need, driving impact for your team, company, and the world at large. Through weekly reflections and practical activities, you will build your unique action plan to evolve your leadership style. Each session will consist of a lecture, discussion, and an exercise on one of the elements. Classes will also include in-depth interviews with industry leaders who embody these modern leadership principles.
