Emerson Leadership Institute Presents the Dignity-Based Leadership Development Series
11/12/2024
The Emerson Leadership Institute at Chaifetz School of Business launched the Dignity-Based Leadership Development Series for the 2024-2025 academic year in the Fall of 2024.
This Dignity-Based Leadership Development Series is inspired by and tied into the Jesuit Education entailing (1) caring for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and contributing to the greater good; (2) “the magis” (more) – leading to excellence in all pursuits; and (3) becoming “men and women for and with others.”
This year-long leadership program consists of a series of in-person retreats featuring leadership speakers, symposiums, panels, and interactive workshops carefully designed to allow participants to discover their leadership potential, cultivate their leadership skills, build a cohesive, high-performing team, and create a culture of dignity and belonging.
