As leaders take on broader responsibilities, the nature of their role begins to change. Success is no longer just about expertise or execution. Leaders must align teams they don’t control, balance strategy with day-to-day delivery, and make decisions that affect multiple parts of the organization. The Ivey Leadership Program helps participants step back from the pressure of daily demands and build the mindset and tools needed to lead with greater clarity, influence, and impact.

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for leaders who are taking on broader responsibilities and preparing to lead beyond their functional expertise. Participants are often responsible for:

• Leading a function, business unit, or regional team
• Managing large or multi-layer teams
• Driving cross-functional or cross-market initiatives
• Delivering strategic projects or transformation efforts
• Aligning stakeholders and teams to move complex initiatives forward

It is particularly valuable for leaders expanding their scope and preparing for larger leadership roles within their organizations.
