Advanced Principles of Leadership
The skills of an effective leader are changing in today’s new reality. Organizations are undergoing rapid advancements due to globalization, immigration, technological change, knowledge revelations, and the climate crisis. It is now more necessary than ever to hone your leadership skills and understand how to foster a culture of positive motivation and have a holistic approach to understanding systemic change to retain a competitive edge.
Transformational leadership is about changing together in a unified way. It’s about defining who you are as an organization, exploring new frontiers, charting clear and compelling new directions, and unlocking the human expertise and energy needed to achieve organizational renewal. Transformation change is, by definition, positive and holistic in nature, and in this course you will learn how to lead it and empower it in others.
Become a trailblazer in your organization, industry, and the world with Transformational Leadership, a course based on research and literature on the lastest leadership theories.

Charles Park
Systems & Security Architect at Farmers National Company
Prior to taking the MIT Professional Education’s Transformational Leadership course I had few ideas or knowledge on how to lead people or an organization. In my current role as a senior technologist, I am familiar to collaborating with peers and external stakeholders, and providing guidance or leadership on technological matters comes naturally to me. However, leading a team or an organization demands a distinct set of skills, knowledge, and experiences. After completing this course I feel better equipped to assume leadership roles, armed with skills and knowledge that I can readily apply to drive positive changes within my organization and support my team. The office hour sessions with my Learning Facilitator and peers, along with the live webinars featuring Dr. Nino, served to reinforce the course content and address any queries that arose. I am grateful to Renzo, Dr. Nino, and MIT for this invaluable learning experience.
