Newswise — The newest addition to the Tuck Executive Education portfolio, Essentials of Management Leadership Program (EMLP), is designed to develop effective leaders in general management. The immersive five-day program provides successful functional managers and new middle managers with an integrated view of the fundamentals of business, strategy and leadership.

In explaining the rationale for creating this new program, faculty director William Joyce explains, “There is no shortage of leadership programs available today. But we discovered that offerings at other schools and corporate in-house programs often fail to address what rising middle managers really need to be successful at the next level—namely the integration of ‘soft’ leadership skills combined with a broad understanding of the ‘hard’ fundamentals of business. That’s what participants will get by working with Tuck MBA faculty in EMLP.”

Participant Profile?

The program is specifically designed for successful functional managers with 5-10 years management experience. Participants have just taken on or are about to assume broader middle management responsibilities.

EMLP is also appropriate for technical professionals with scientific, engineering, technology, R&D, project management, healthcare management and other technical backgrounds who are transferring to broader management.
