Program Requirements
The Program is designed to inspire and develop exceptional mid-career public service executives (and executives from other sectors) to take on expanded leadership roles in the future. Effective leaders are continuous learners. Accordingly, the Program demands active engagement of the participants to:
- prepare by completing assigned readings;
- participate actively in the sessions, action learning, and the study tours;
- share responsibility for group presentations in connection with study tours;
- maintain a learning journal throughout the Program; and
- submit an original individual case study (about 10 to 15 pages in length) by early 2013, on a topic agreed with the Program Director – participants will be expected to select the topic early in the Program and to prepare the paper in stages for review and feedback.
Written work and group presentations will be shared with all participants.
The Program culminates in a Certificate conferred by the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs. It does not result in formal academic credits.
