About this course

Yale SOM Executive Education: Women's Leadership Program: Leading With Power and Influence

Duration : 6 weeks (excluding orientation)

For years, power in the workplace has been associated with traits such as persuasion, charisma, and outward displays of authority and strength. This has caused some women leaders to disidentify with power as a concept, even undermining their own progression. However, as traditional productivity metrics become unsustainable in the face of growing burnout and disengagement, a new leadership approach focusing on well-being, purpose, and belonging is needed. Communication, empathy, authenticity, and honesty hold more value than ever before.

The Women’s Leadership Program: Leading With Power and Influence from the Yale School of Management Executive Education equips you to become the positively energizing leader to drive change. Over the course of six weeks online, you’ll discover a broader definition of power as a buildable skill set that incorporates both strong and empathic traits and can shift depending on context. You’ll explore existing power structures and dynamics in organizations, and uncover how a growth mindset can help you influence others and effect positive change in your sphere of influence. Guided by experts, you’ll also discover key strategies that can help you use everyday junctures for power and change, and enhance your ability to cultivate positive relational energy to promote organizational success. Walk away with the tools and knowledge to effectively harness your unique power as a woman leader, and an official certificate of participation from a world-leading business school.1

Mid- and senior-level women managers will have the opportunity to build their skill sets and networks to advance in their careers, and professionals such as product or project managers, analysts, and consultants will gain the tools to become highly effective and energizing leaders. Professionals from across sectors, such as business development, media and marketing, finance, education, and the public sector will find great value in the program’s insights. While the program is primarily aimed at women, it will also be of relevance to all who want to understand structures of power and support positive change.
