About this Course

A traditional approach to leadership is no longer sufficient in a world that is changing at an exponential rate. Leadership in the 21st century requires continuous learning and adaptation to the evolving landscape, new technologies, and shifting customer preferences.

The Leadership in an Exponentially Changing World online program from the MIT Sloan School of Management provides new approaches for leading teams toward effectively reaching organizational goals by drawing on the 4-CAPS+ Leadership Framework, developed by Faculty Director Deborah Ancona and her colleagues at MIT. Over the course of six weeks, you’ll examine your leadership style and how to leverage others effectively — both inside and outside teams and organizations — to aid in successfully addressing and overcoming organizational challenges. At the end of this online program, you’ll leave with a digital certificate of completion from MIT Sloan and the executive leadership competencies to mobilize individuals toward change.

This MIT Sloan online course is designed for professionals looking to improve their leadership and management capabilities, while discovering their personal leadership style. Business leaders will expand and refine their current leadership knowledge, helping them facilitate innovation and adaptation and drive high-performance teams. Mid-level and senior managers will get a chance to engage with other professionals and develop their ability to lead teams more effectively, while meeting business objectives. Aspiring leaders will develop the confidence to demonstrate that they have the skills to lead.
