Leadership Fellows

Catalog description

Becoming a better leader is not a passive process. Adults learn far more through experience -- through acting and reflecting -- than they learn from the advice of others. As such, the Leadership Fellows curriculum is heavily focused on practice. Fellows will practice working through difficult workplace scenarios with professional role players, be given the opportunity to reflect on their behavior, and provide / receive feedback from their cohort members. Further, they will be afforded the opportunity to test their learning by repeating the experience. The purpose of this practice is to position students as leaders within their organizations after Stern. By practicing and experiencing the emotions and rushing thoughts that arise under pressure, students will rise to the occasion, carry themselves with greater confidence and purpose, and be seen as people who are seasoned beyond their years.
