Rotman Senior Leadership
Gain the knowledge needed to face the challenges of senior leadership in a modern organization with this online program
Today's organization is an increasingly complex entity, shaped by rapidly evolving technological, social, and economic forces. Within this context of constant disruption, teams and functions can no longer operate in isolated silos or static hierarchies if they hope to succeed. Forward-thinking business leaders must shift their focus towards harnessing the varied strengths of everyone on their team, and helping separate functions work together as a whole.

Over the course of six weeks, you'll develop a deeper understanding of the challenges senior leaders face in fostering a high-performance culture. You'll explore effective ways to remove silos, respond to change in your business, and navigate new complexities in your broader environment. You'll also examine new methods of thinking about organizational strategy, structure, culture, people, and systems with Professor Hugh Arnold's unique congruence model of organizational effectiveness. Walk away with practical organizational leadership techniques to confidently guide your team through an uncertain future, and a certificate of professional achievement as validation of your knowledge.
