The Harvard Business School has launched a new program specifically tailored to help aspiring African executives reach their potential. The Senior Executive Program – Africa promises to strengthen your leadership skills and develop your insight into local, regional, and global markets.

The continent of Africa is a diverse home of various cultures, nations, economics, and politics. These differences create both unique business challenges and opportunities. To be successful, Africa’s leading executives must design and execute effective strategies for growth both inside and outside the continent. They must also create innovative offerings, nurture high-performance teams, and navigate rapid change in Africa’s markets. This program will explore the approaches of successful African leaders and prepare you to compete effectively, seize growth opportunities, and sustain success for your organization.

The course is comprised of three modules. The first will take place August 5 – 10, 2019 at Port Louis, Mauritius. The second module will consist of an independent business challenge project, which will last August 11 to November 30, 2019. And finally, the third module will occur at the Harvard Business School campus in Boston, MA, December 1 to 6, 2017. These modules will help you build the knowledge, perspective, and confidence necessary to become an effective leader and accelerate your company’s growth. The course will also give you the chance to interact with and learn from other senior leaders across Africa.

What will you study while participating in this course? It will immerse you in best practices in designing winning strategies, enabling innovation, establishing competitive advantage, leading effectively, improving governance, and more. The course is designed to maximize learning while minimizing your time away from work. That is why the second module of the course gives you a chance to apply your learning to a special project that will contribute to your organization’s success.

This year, the presidential centers of William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson will come together to offer a high-intensity leadership training program. This program is designed for leaders from all across the public and private sectors, along with the non-profit and military areas, to come together to learn firsthand from four presidencies.

This program, known as the Presidential Leadership Scholars Program, draws upon the leadership expertise and different styles of past presidents. Because the presidential centers are diverse and include bipartisan representation, this opportunity is ideal for any future leader looking for an education in principled leadership.

In this program, scholars will develop lifelong networks and leadership skills, learning how to initiate change and solve the world’s toughest challenges. It is designed for high performing mid-career professionals who are interested in strengthen their leadership skills and bridging all kinds of geographic, societal, and professional boundaries.

The program stresses cooperation and collaboration, requiring participants to bring together their experiences and perspectives. The final outcome of this program is a Personal Leadership Project, designed to help each student achieve the goal of increasing “social good.”

The program includes several modules, each integrating different aspects of leadership. Students will also review presidential history and gain insight into top presidential leadership moments. The program features distinguished speakers, such as former presidential administration officials, skill-building workshops, and project development.

Accepted participants pay no fees, and engage in roughly 120 hours of on-site instruction. The program lasts for six months, running from February until July. All tuition, housing, meals, and travel in the host center’s city are paid for as a result of contributions from various donations, corporations, and foundations. In exchange, all participants are expected to engage in all program activities.
