Advanced Management
Program — India
A Transformative Six-Month Experience
LEADERSHIP BY DESIGN
Strong, effective leadership
happens by design.
It’s time to take that next, transformative step to accelerate the
trajectory of your career and your organization. Competition in and
around the C-suite is fierce. Getting to the top takes firm intention
and a dedicated plan. What you need is to immerse yourself in an
intellectually rigorous environment where business acumen, financial
strategy, innovation capability, and value creation are front and
center. Understand how you can influence others and effect real and
sometimes disruptive change. This is how you stake your claim.
This is leadership by design.

“Wharton long ago recognized that it’s not enough for leaders
