usiness has largely abandoned its vision of a leader as a captain of command- and-control decision making—the one who stands alone, points the way with confidence, and expects others to follow. But what, then, does makes a great leader? Three schools have developed courses that delve into this question by immersing students in difficult, complex, and ethically charged leadership challenges. These experiences are designed to be eye-opening for students, in ways that encourage them to question their long-held beliefs, adjust their def- initions of leadership, and push the boundaries of their own leadership potential.
