The Emerging Leaders program at Harvard Kennedy School is designed to develop and enhance the capabilities of tomorrow's leaders. This on-campus program, led by Faculty Chair Mathias Risse, brings together renowned Harvard faculty and an international cohort of rising professionals. Over an intensive week of learning, participants will gain essential leadership skills and strategic insights to capitalize on opportunities, overcome obstacles, and drive change.
Program Curriculum
Emerging Leaders is designed in three parts: skill building, integrated communications and policy analysis.
A one-day interactive simulation will challenge you and your peers to confront and diagnose a crisis as well as develop cooperative strategies to advance your vision. Faculty will focus on advancing your skill sets in the areas of negotiation, persuasion, coalition building, ethics and leveraging internet technologies. Lectures will address how countries grow and develop in the global economy, the infrastructure of modern government, political power in a cyber world and non-military global crisis management.
Case studies, group discussion teams, as well as experiential exercises and selected guest lecturers will contribute to a unique and collaborative learning environment.
