Overview
What you will study
The Accelerated Leadership program offered by Harvard University focuses on four dimensions: personal, people and team, practice, and client leadership. The skills and lessons from each dimension combine to leave participants with a holistic, actionable understanding of how to be better leaders.
Participants will join a diverse cohort of lawyers from around the world alongside renowned Harvard Law School Executive Education faculty to engage in an immersive, interactive learning experience.
Through case studies, lectures, and interactive exercises, participants will examine the challenges facing early- to mid-stage law firm partners and leaders of smaller legal organizations. They will emerge with tools that they can apply as soon as they return to work.
