The purpose
The Emerging Leader Program is based on this mission: Nurturing the next generation of leaders and supporting the lifelong journey of growth, courage, and purposeful leadership. It is grounded in the central belief, that leadership is not a title, it is a mindset, and mindsets are best cultivated early.
In partnership with AUEB’s Department of Management Science & Technology, whose vision is to management science, technology, and entrepreneurial thinking in teaching and cutting-edge research, enabling and inspiring its students and faculty to make positive impacts on science, business and society, this Program aims to:
- Introduce young talent to the realities, complexity, and responsibility of leadership.
- Create a space where students and executives co-create understanding, insights and real-world applications.
- Build the foundations for personal and professional growth through self-awareness, reflection and practice.
The Emerging Leader Program is more than a 2-day bootcamp.
It is a first step into a community of leaders who share knowledge, support one another and co-create the future.
