In any organization, leadership is essential when navigating different scenarios and challenges. Whether you’re leading a new team, undergoing a period of change, or facing performance pressure, selecting the right leadership approach can significantly impact the team’s success.

The UC Davis Graduate School of Management Leadership Program provides you with the tools and frameworks to make informed decisions in such situations. The program is based on a situational theory of leadership, and you’ll engage in an experiential learning process by leading a fictional team through various scenarios and assessing your role within that environment. The curriculum concentrates on three main areas: self-leadership, leadership as a relationship with the team, and the impact of the environment on team performance. By exploring these areas, you acquire practical strategies to build trust, navigate change and crisis, and motivate your team to achieve their objectives.
