Strategic Leadership Development in Business Education is an immersive, two-day AACSB Academy workshop designed to support current and aspiring business education leaders across industry and academic staff, faculty, and administrative roles as they navigate the realities of strategic leadership in today's complex global environment. A defining feature of this experience is its guest-speaker-led model, with distinguished leaders guiding the learning through real stories, practical lessons, and candid advice drawn from their own leadership journeys and philosophies across diverse institutional and cultural contexts.
Participants gain insight into leadership pathways, early credibility-building moves, strategic decision-making under pressure, common pitfalls to avoid, and how to shape culture and influence across varied governance structures and stakeholder environments. Through structured reflection and self-assessment, peer dialogue, Q&A with guest speakers, interactive exercises, and action planning, participants leave with increased confidence, motivation, clearer direction, and a personalized roadmap for leadership growth and next steps.
