Leadership development programs

Technology keeps changing the way we work.

Learn to navigate and lead others through the change.

The qualities that make a leader haven't changed, but as organizations become increasingly technical, good leaders need to reconsider how they make decisions and motivate teams, while reflecting on their own ideas about success amid digital transformation.

Questions like these are a specialty at Stevens School of Business. We combine our heritage as an engineering university with research and teaching that's rooted in real-world applications and informed by our close ties to industry. That lets us offer leadership development programs that have helped professionals in aerospace, energy, defense, healthcare and other industries understand their unique leadership styles — giving organizations the tools to build effective leadership from within.

Leaders are made, not born. Professors Peter Dominick and Wei Zheng and Stevens alumna Cindy Dever speak about how people can become skilled leaders.

Benefits of Stevens' leadership development programs

Practical orientation - Our approach focuses on developing leadership capabilities in each participant through the practice and assessment of leadership concepts in a real-world context.

Minimal disruption - Programs take between one and three days to complete. This short time commitment is more than made up through the development of valuable skills and perspective that will help guide organizational growth and efficiency.

Expert guidance - Our modules are developed by Stevens faculty, who are responsible for important research insights in leadership, especially in technical organizations.
