Leadership development isn’t one-size-fits-all. Which is why Vanderbilt Executive Education combines a personalized approach with expert faculty and practical research to help individuals and organizations grow.
We're thrilled to welcome bestselling author Dr. Arthur Brooks to Vanderbilt Business. This fall, he's teaching Leadership and Happiness, a new Executive Education course grounded in his research on what makes leaders thrive. Join Dr. Brooks for an in-person retreat in Boca Raton, Florida, from December 7 to 9.
