IMD business school for management and leadership courses
Celebrating the Strategies for Leadership program
2024 marks 20 years since IMD hosted the first edition of Strategies for Leadership.
Since then, it has evolved into one of IMD’s most established and enduring programs.
The program’s launch came amid a growing debate in the early 2000s on advancing women into senior leadership roles. In 2004, just 19% of senior management roles globally were held by women – a number that had barely shifted in three decades.
Twenty years on, the program has welcomed more than 1,170 women and 81 different nationalities, equipping them with the tools to progress in their careers, assume influential roles, and drive meaningful change within their spheres.
Through a combination of professional coaching and experiential exercises, participants have developed a deep understanding of themselves as leaders, enhanced their executive presence and discovered and unlocked their most authentic leadership style.
