About this Course

In a volatile, uncertain business environment, leadership is demanding. But with the correct skill set, leadership can also be exciting and rewarding. A strong leader is critical to building and maintaining a competitive advantage in a complex business landscape.

The Business Management Executive Programme from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) prepares business leaders and managers for today’s challenges and opportunities. It combines the content of three leading LSE online certificate courses to deliver a learning journey that explores the many aspects of effective leadership. From gaining strategic and analytical skills to learning to influence and manage diverse, flexible, and remote teams, you’ll develop a holistic set of tools and techniques to lead resilient organisations.

This course is for ambitious professionals who want to enhance their business skills, including business leaders, owners, managers, entrepreneurs, consultants, and analysts. Given its comprehensive content in leadership, influence, strategy, technical business, and finance, the course benefits those in leadership roles across various organisations and industries. It’s ideal for any professional who needs to hone their negotiation skills or engage with stakeholders, regardless of experience. The course is also aimed at those who currently lead a team and prepares aspiring managers for future leadership roles.
