Why This Course?
The central thesis of ID Lab is that being an effective leader requires a deep understanding of what it means to be human in a complex world. ID Lab enables the pursuit of self and other-awareness in the service of improved individual, team and organizational performance. The semester-long course requires both a commitment to personal transformation and a willingness to engage with others on a similar journey. The experience integrates an introductory forum, weekly classes, regular introspective reflections, and professional executive coaching to enable students to develop as a principled, innovative leader capable of changing the world.
Executive Leadership Coaching: To maximize the opportunity for a positive, developmental experience, as part of the class requirement you will work, one-on-one, with a professional executive leadership coach. Coaching is often critical to the process of translating the self-knowledge gained in class sessions into leadership behaviors and skills. You will work with your coach on goal setting and identifying practical experiments that map to a personal growth and development plan.
