Leading People and Teams

Being a great individual contributor is not a guarantee that someone will be a great people leader. As much as 60% of new people managers fail in their roles in the first 24 months because they have not been properly prepared for the change. Research finds that every other employee has left or is considering leaving the job because of a bad manager — what is the situation with you? What does it take to beat the statistics and have the top performing, effective and loyal team? Improve your capabilities, arm yourself with new skills, and bravely undergo a transformation towards being a great people leader. Learn from exceptional professors and professionals, benefit from individual support of your programme mentor, and leverage the exchange with your peers from different industries — become a participant in our Leading People and Teams programme.

• Anyone dealing with people on a regular basis
• Anyone directly or indirectly interacting and leading teams
• Aspiring managers and leaders who assume increased people leadership responsibilities
• Experienced people managers and leaders ready to challenge their own existing leadership practices and improve leadership skills
• Business owners transitioning to larger scale and expanding teams

The ESEM method guides you from academic knowledge to practical implementation, by combining three fundamental stages of learning:

• Hybrid pre-work and pre-reading
• Dynamic in class activities
• Practical real-life project work.

On this learning path, you are supported by dedicated personal mentoring and by world-class professors and business experts. You will be able to implement your learnings by actively working with your class peers in a dynamic setting and in small group discussions and finally implementing the knowledge in a real-life project, designed to have maximum impact for you and your organisation.
