HUMAN LEADERSHIP

The pace of technological change, globalization, and heightened stakeholder expectations have vastly expanded the business world’s definition of leadership. Through our innovative teaching practices and educational programs, we train 21st century business leaders to take full advantage of the endless opportunities made possible by technological progress while also managing its far-reaching social consequences.

To embrace the broader implications of innovation, we must imbue future business leaders with a deep appreciation of their ethical responsibilities, the great value of inclusion throughout society, and the ever-expanding societal responsibilities of business.

    Culture and Community Success

    "You have to be able to hear every voice."

    "Metrics can guide strategies, but it's the human beings behind those metrics who truly shape an organization. There is good research to show that if you get the human leadership piece right, if you recruit a broad range of talented people, if you establish a culture where everyone feels valued and that they belong, then you get more.

    "You get more engagement, more collective intelligence, more creativity, better critical thinking. And, at the end of the day, of course this translates into both thriving employees and positive impacts on the bottom line.”

    — Vice Dean of Culture and Community Success
