Transform your managers into exceptional leaders with Developing Leaders —A program by Harvard Business School Publishing® delivered online by New Horizons

Tough economic times and organizational challenges call for strong, ethical leaders. Executive development is needed now more than ever.

Leadership, as a distinctly different notion from Management, is of fundamental importance to corporations worldwide. At no time was this more true than today, in the shadow of the failure of major corporations because of greed, fraud, and malfeasance on the part of top corporate leaders. According to Business Week (The Education Edge, October 20, 2003), executive education is on the rise. Among the top reasons cited to explain this trend are that executive education is viewed as an important training tool, there is a belief that the payback on such programs is high, and workplace challenges demand different skills. Companies are finding they require leaders that motivate and serve as good role models.

Now, an eLearning Program Specifically to Promote Leadership

New Horizons is introducing a new eLearning program developed by Harvard Business School Publishing that addresses the corporate need to make good leaders out of good managers. The program library includes:

Decision Making - Provide managers with systematic frameworks designed to improve their decision-making ability. Decision Making introduces techniques developed by leading experts such as: simplifying complex decisions, applying intuition, avoiding "thinking traps", and reducing decision making biases.
Influencing and Motivating Others - Provides actionable lessons on getting better results from direct reports (influencing performance), greater cooperation from your peers (lateral leadership), and stronger support from your own boss and senior management (persuasion).
Leadership Transitions - Early mistakes by managers in transition can damage business momentum and careers. Leadership Transitions provides practical insight on the key challenges facing leaders in transition and helps managers overcome the obstacles they may encounter as they enter their new positions.
What is a Leader? - Build exceptional leaders from competent managers. Discover how leaders introduce change, learn about the emotional intelligence that distinguishes stellar leaders,and gain practical insights on the day-to-day work of leaders. Students work through interactive,real-world scenarios to determine which approach to take when diagnosing and solving problems based on the research and writings of six well-known leadership experts, including John Kotter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Leading Change and Heart of Change.

Developing Leaders promotes competencies such as:

Effectively championing new initiatives
Communicating a compelling vision
Successfully coaching individuals and teams
Providing clear strategic direction
Anticipating future trends
Building trusts through personal example
Seeking and promoting creative solutions to business problems
