Program Overview
Elevate Your Health Care Career with High-Impact Leadership Development
As a rising leader in health care, you face the dual challenges of responding to immediate crises and shaping the future of health systems.

Health care today grapples with enormous pressures: improving outcomes, expanding access, managing attrition, and controlling costs amid rapid technological advancements.

Through this frame, you will master pragmatic frameworks, tools, and techniques developed by Harvard T.H.

In this program, you will master advanced leadership frameworks like Meta-leadership and “The Walk in the Woods,” distinctive practice methods for complex problem solving not found in other executive programs.
Developed by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faculty, Meta-leadership is a conceptually rigorous and field-tested framework that helps you foster innovation, anticipate change, and tackle complex, risk-laden challenges. By intentionally connecting and leveraging diverse talents and assets, you significantly increase the likelihood of achieving and sustaining positive outcomes in your health care organization.
Meta-leadership prepares you to lead effectively across all levels and spheres—within your team, to your superiors, among your peers, and with external stakeholders. This multidimensional leadership style is crucial in today’s dynamic health care environment, ensuring you can navigate and influence different levels and areas effectively.
Rooted in research spanning leadership, health care, conflict management, neuroscience, negotiation, and emergency management, meta-leadership provides an actionable toolkit ready for immediate application. This robust foundation makes you a more effective leader from day one.
In addition to learning the Meta-leadership framework, the program introduces you to “The Walk in the Woods”—a model for complex problem-solving and interest-based negotiation, and the swarm intelligence strategy for fostering collaboration during crises. These distinctive methods further enhance your problem-solving and leadership capabilities.
Health Care Leadership for Emerging Executives is taught by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health faculty, Dr. Leonard Marcus and Eric McNulty, who pioneered these methods. Their decades of experience ensure you gain practical, real-world insights. The faculty are also co-authors of Renegotiating Health Care: Resolving Conflict to Build Collaboration, Second Edition, offering valuable perspectives to their instruction.
