An Inside Look Into Columbia's Senior Executive Program

Senior executives rarely have the time to step back and rethink the next stage of their leadership. In this webinar, Columbia Business School’s Miklos Sarvary and Sandra Matz provide an inside look at Columbia Senior Executive Program and explain how it helps leaders step away from day-to-day demands to examine the major forces reshaping business, reflect on their own leadership trajectory, and translate those insights into practical strategies for the years ahead.

Overview

Miklos Sarvary, the Carson Family Professor of Business, and Sandra Matz, the Lulu Chow Wang Professor of Business, provide an inside look at the Senior Executive Program, a three-week experience designed for leaders preparing for C-suite and board-level roles. The program is structured to help executives step back from day-to-day demands and examine the major forces shaping the future of business, including AI, climate change, and geopolitical shifts. Participants then move into a period of focused reflection and coaching before translating these insights into practical strategies and tools they can apply immediately to strengthen leadership impact and organizational performance.

Key Takeaways

  1. A Three-Part Leadership Reset: The program moves through three phases—understanding the global forces reshaping business, stepping back to reassess your leadership direction, and translating those insights into practical strategies you can apply immediately.
  2. Preparing for the Leap to the C-Suite: As leaders move into enterprise-level roles, the job changes from managing operations to balancing the expectations of boards, shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders.
  3. Leadership Development Grounded in Research: The program combines insights from leading faculty and industry experts with research-backed frameworks to help leaders navigate uncertainty and make more informed strategic decisions.
  4. Step Back to Move Forward: Participants begin in New York City and then step away to the Hamptons, creating space for 360-degree feedback, coaching, and deeper reflection on leadership direction and impact.
  5. A Lifelong Professional Network: Executives join a cohort of senior leaders from diverse industries, building relationships that often become trusted sources of perspective and advice long after the program ends.
