Sloan Leadership Seminar
The Sloan Leadership Seminar is focused on developing the leadership knowledge and capacities of Sloan Fellows. It is conducted throughout the year and covers a range of activities. These include formal sessions in which the tasks of leaders and leadership styles are explored. Sloan Fellows have the opportunity to complete a personal preference inventory instrument, which is coupled with team building exercises. Formal sessions are enhanced by presentations from distinguished Stanford faculty with a focus on issues of leadership, power and politics, and other topics of broad relevance.
CEOs and chairmen of major corporations are invited to meet with Sloan Fellows in Top Management Seminars, in which they discuss leadership issues in their own organizations. Sloan Fellows have the opportunity for an informal exchange of views with the speaker and further discussion over dinner.
Meetings with leaders of business and government are the focus of the domestic and international field trips. These include meetings in Silicon Valley and Seattle, as well as New York and Washington. At the conclusion of the program, Sloan Fellows also participate in an international field trip whether they meet with leaders in other countries.
