The world is flat, the economy global, innovation cycles compressed, comfort zones
threatened. Everything about today’s business environment demands speed, flexibility
and perseverance. Managing a business is more daunting – and exhilarating – than ever.

Global companies need strong leadership for these turbulent times. Knowledge and skill are
obviously necessary, but managers require more. They must embrace uncertainty, accept
ambiguity, and acknowledge the incomplete nature of themselves and their organisations.
They must live by the principle that successful leadership means constant learning and renewal.

We at ESADE and the University of St. Gallen are excited to help you begin your quest to
become a strong leader through our Programme for Leadership Development.
The PLD is an innovative and rigorous offering from two of Europe’s most highly recognised
institutions of higher management education. It is designed to give you a portfolio of knowledge,
skills and personal awareness that will make you a much more effective leader.

Our aim is to help you obtain your greatest personal and professional aspirations.
We hope you consider joining us in this highly engaging endeavor.

We look forward to working with you.
