Your learning journey
Transform the very essence of who you are as a leader
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and deep reflection. Your quest to become a more effective team leader will take you through nine days of highly immersive, experiential learning at IMD and in the Swiss Alps.
You will gain a deeper understanding of behavior and how it triggers functional or dysfunctional team dynamics. As you absorb and reflect on new ideas, you will also try out new techniques, styles, and strategies. Whether you’re in the classroom with world-class faculty, pushing beyond your limits in the mountains alongside your peers, or diving deep into reflection with your coach, Mobilizing People is grounded in a powerful truth: We are all works in progress and continuously evolving, no matter how far we’ve come.
