As a leader in your company, do you know what the drivers of change are both within and outside of your organization? Do you understand how to create effective systems within your organization that will enable you to implement strategic initiatives? Do you know how to determine whether an investment made in your property is providing value to the owner?
Strategic leadership is not an innate trait you are born with; it is a skill that requires daily practice and discipline. Today’s dynamic hospitality industry requires that leaders and managers have the ability to not only lead their teams effectively but also provide a strategic framework that will guide the organization as a whole.
This on-campus certificate program at Cornell University’s world-renowned Nolan School of Hotel Administration in Ithaca, New York, prepares you to take a holistic view of your leadership skills through the lens of introducing change successfully, analyzing complex financial decisions to maximize value, and evaluating and implementing sustainability initiatives.
Over the course of four days, you’ll work with faculty experts and hospitality professionals from around the world to further explore strategic hospitality leadership via hands-on activities, interactive case studies, and team assignments. You’ll walk away with new skills and best practices as well as a powerful network of international colleagues.
This certificate program is part of the Anheuser-Busch Professional Development Program (PDP) at Cornell University’s Nolan School of Hotel Administration. First launched in 1928, this world-renowned executive program has welcomed hospitality professionals from around the globe for over 90 years.
