At MIT, we believe leadership combines the courage to confront big challenges with the practicality of getting things done. If anyone knows how to tackle the hard problems, it's MIT. Every day, we're reshaping the conventional approach to leadership—turning it upside down and shaking it. Because the future demands it.
At MIT, we're smart enough to know we're smarter together. We're less interested in the various definitions of the term leadership and more interested in enabling diverse individuals to collaborate in solving the world's toughest problems. To us, rigor, innovation, and real outputs matter more than the appearance of success.
Great ideas are only as good as the actions they create. MIT leaders are both analytic thinkers and relentless experimenters. In our courses and programs, you will learn what it takes to translate ideas into collective action to make positive change. We believe that analytical skill combined with active leadership equals transformation. It's an unbeatable combination.
Leadership development at MIT means examining yourself and others, and how you can work together to maximize performance on three levels—individual, team, and organization. Key to our distinct leadership development process is a diagnostic component that allows you to identify gaps in your own skills, and an action-oriented component that will help you develop skills to close those gaps. And then, we'll give you plenty of opportunities to put what you've learned into practice before you graduate.
The leadership process includes a diagnostic component that allows you to identify gaps, along with an action-oriented component that encourages you to utilize skills to close those gaps.
At Sloan you will learn about and practice leadership from each of these levels.
