Why this course
Navigating our current economy requires business leaders to understand more than just business models. Professor Slaughter helps students to become leaders with confident humility, the ability to disagree constructively, and the “capacity to imagine and articulate possibilities.”
This course’s unique pedagogy puts students at the center of mock-congressional hearings delivering testimony on contemporary topics, all organized around a central question: “how will you manage and lead global companies or organizations in environments with wary governments and skeptical societies?”
