Course Description
Leadership Institute D is our signature Leadership Institute curriculum with a focus on personal development for leadership in society. This course, taught by Jack O'Toole MBA, a Tuck Business School alum and entrepreneur, features one week of classes on campus and a weekend to enjoy campus life, followed by four days of immersive personal development leadership challenges facilitated at Dartmouth's private Moosilauke Ravine Lodge in New Hampshire's White Mountains.
This Leadership Institute will ask the questions: What is leadership? How can I understand my strengths as a leader and leverage them? What practices and resources can I draw on to improve my areas for growth? How can I collaborate effectively with people whose strengths are different than mine, especially when operating in ambiguous, rapidly changing or complex situations?
Schedule
While on the Dartmouth campus, Leadership Institute participants follow the same daily schedule as the Summer Scholars program.
