The inner work of leadership

What does it take to lead with real impact today? 

It starts with the ability for self-reflection. As you reflect on how you show up as a leader and as a team member, you begin to recognize your strengths, identify your blind spots and to find ways of mobilizing your followers. 

That’s why the Leadership Learning Stream is a core part of our Executive MBA. In this webinar, IMD Professor Anand Narasimhan and Lead will take you inside this unique part of the program and show how it helps you develop your leadership from the inside out. 

You’ll explore how the stream strengthens your ability to lead through complexity, build resilience, and connect with others in meaningful ways – by reflecting on how you practice leadership. We will walk you through the one-on-one coaching process that’s a core component of the program: how it helps you uncover blind spots, navigate different contexts, and grow the confidence to lead with clarity.
