Developing Women Leaders

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

If you are not proactively navigating your career, you are not leveraging all your opportunities to advance. This course is designed as a compliment to your other business school classes that offer a wide range of information about specific business contexts and problems. In contrast, this course is about you—about building your knowledge, skills, abilities, and networks in order to make the most of professional career. This class is going to be about action. This course will offer specific prescriptions, grounded in current research, for developing and leveraging your human and social capital. You will actively engage in exercises each week designed to help you build some facet of your human and social capital. We will also be joined by a special guest speaker each week who will help guide your development and offer her perspective on the topic. Through this combination of: research based knowledge, concrete prescriptions, active exercises, networking with guest speakers and hearing their practical advice, you will be prepared to launch your new career as you leave MSB.
