Become the next skilled and responsible leader

High-potentials assigned to their first significant leadership role need to prove themselves to their superiors, their teams, and peers. Succeeding requires a profound change in both skills and mindset: from delivering individual value to creating value collaboratively with others.

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) aims to facilitate this transformative shif. It equips emerging leaders with essential skills and perspectives while also cultivating a robust network and support system that proves invaluable throughout their leadership journey.

You will learn from two leading European management schools, SDA Bocconi and ESMT, and benefit from an international network.

It Fits You If

You are a young manager recently appointed to a leadership position or a high potential preparing for your first significant leadership role. The program is tailored for participants with diverse professional and personal backgrounds.

Program Direction

Taking on a leadership role is one of the most exciting yet stressful situation in one's professional life. Exciting because you have a real opportunity to make a difference, for the business and for the team of people you are leading. stressful because you constantly find yourself out of your comfort zone in need to re-define your professional identity, to let go of what has worked for you as a successful individual contributor with the necessity to develop new competences to enlarge your behavioral repertoire making it best suited for the numerous and diverse leadership challenges that you are going to face.
