A survey of 195 leaders from more than 30 global organizations suggests that there are five major themes of competencies that strong leaders exhibit:
High ethical standards and providing a safe environment
Empowering individuals to self-organize
Promoting connection and belonging among employees
Open to new ideas and experimentation
Committed to the professional and intellectual growth of employees
There is no single leadership development course that will instill these competencies into a human. Rather, we must all be on a continuous journey of personal and professional development to embody these competencies. Congratulations to our WPI Leadership Academy students for embarking on this important journey! Explore all our course offerings and continue your life-long journey of learning.
