Lead yourself and others to sustained success

How often do you take the time to reflect on your leadership style, your vision, and the impact you can make on your team and organization?

In today’s ever-shifting and increasingly complex business arena, the need for strong and successful leadership has never been greater. IMD’s Inspirational Leadership program provides you with an opportunity to expand your leadership skills and enrich the way you mobilize others.

You will examine your individual leadership strengths and weaknesses and learn how to be a more grounded leader. The program equips you with the essential tools to build strong relationships with your team, increase engagement, and shape a culture of high performance. You will learn to lead your people by coaching them and helping them develop their potential. Led by former hostage negotiator, George Kohlrieser, the course provides you with applicable insights on handling difficult conversations and persuading through dialogue and negotiation.

You will also explore how to remain resilient in the face of adversity, adopting new ways of approaching challenges and overcoming obstacles in your own professional context. The new insights and skills you develop will impact your team’s performance and will empower you to lead with more clarity and conviction.

Upon completion of Inspirational Leadership, you are eligible to apply for IMD’s Advanced High Performance Leadership program, a special offering exclusively designed for High Performance Leadership / Inspirational Leadership alumni.
