"I developed a much higher sense of self awareness. Also, I was able to get insights from peers and from members of my organization about my leadership style which helped me realized how I can deliver more effective leadership. Back at the work, we then reorganized the company around a much smaller leadership team. We also started to focus much more on the business itself, while we had been more focused on the technical problems before. All of these insights were valuable takeaways from the program."
Alex Dodoo talks about how Columbia Business School's High Impact Leadership program has helped him learn how to get buy-in of his team members and become a better listener.
“The amount of perspective I gained from this program was excellent. The level of support, engagement, camaraderie, and vulnerability shown within my sub-group was superb.”
Durga Revankar, speaks to the immersiveness of attending a five-day program.
"The High Impact Leadership program has become a very important turning point in my life. It has changed the way I look at leadership. I'll remember this program and the group I worked with every time I make an achievement in my leadership career."
"It is a well balanced program in terms of presentations and small group work. It is brief and to the point and very relevant to a CXO's life. It really provides clarity to things that we know (more or less) in an extremely effective way."
"The HIL program was an eye opener to me of how I understand myself when measured against the expectations of those I lead and who I report to. All that has changed as I am now how I am – a high impact leader."
