Leadership Development with a Results-Based ApproachThe Ivey approach to leadership development simulates the real-world experience necessary to develop enhanced leadership abilities. Each day, you will be testing your judgement, defending your assumptions and sharing your experiences with fellow participants. Our learn-by-doing approach will give you the opportunity to apply your experience to the concepts we teach. It is a week of hard work, challenge and fun that delivers the core competencies of the leadership experience.
This is Not about Text Books and LecturesIf you are having a hard time imagining yourself back in a classroom again, keep in mind that the Ivey Leadership Program is designed with busy leaders in mind. It is an engaging, interactive experience that draws on the vast perspectives that you and your classmates will bring to the program.
Our real-world Case-Method of Learning is not about textbooks and lectures – it’s about learning by doing. Using case studies you’ll put yourself in the role of decision-maker and take on real challenges faced by real companies to gain practical hands-on experience. You’ll come away with new knowledge and ideas that are directly applicable to your business and that will have immediate impact.
