Camaraderie. Self-improvement. Individualized, hands-on learning experiences.
When asked to name their biggest takeaways from Booth's signature Leadership Effectiveness and Development (LEAD) program, students name these and more as highlights of their experience. Designed to enhance self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness, LEAD gives students the opportunity to benchmark themselves with respect to critical aspects of leadership—working in teams, influencing others, conflict management, interpersonal communication, presentation skills, and more.
"It's real. It's not about other people or personalities in books or business leaders out in the world—it's about you," says Tunde Bamigboye, '16. Watch the video below to hear more student testimonials, and see how LEAD helped them to create a personalized plan for continued development at Booth and beyond.
