In "Leadership in Practice: Making and Learning," MIT Sloan students integrate the MIT Leadership Capabilities model with arts processes and experiential sessions.
The ability to work with multiple and diverse perspectives is a valuable skill set that enables creative problem solving, fosters greater interpersonal connection, increases clarity and collaboration, and motivates groups. This highly interactive problem solving course focuses on advanced leadership skills for holding and managing multiple perspectives simultaneously to leverage and unleash the creative potential of divergence in and across business to generate richer outcomes.
