Social
Engaging with your peers is a big part of what makes HBS Online unique. You exchange ideas, offer input,
and seek out viewpoints from a community of learners gathered from around the globe. In the process, you learn from each other’s experiences and perspectives.
Case-Based
Immerse yourself in real-world learning. Lessons are brought to life through cases, which put you in the shoes of business leaders. Hear firsthand the challenges they faced, and wrestle with the same issues and imperfect information.

Marie Isabell Kahl

Graduate of the "Leadership Principles" course

"As a Master's student of business psychology, I want to understand team dynamics and aspire to a leadership position for my professional future. The "Leadership Principles" course taught me important theoretical principles for leading teams, but above all it trained my social understanding and sense of responsibility. I want to find solutions with my colleagues, achieve goals and promote the individual development of each person. The multifaceted tasks, short clips, graphic elements and international dialogue with the other course participants have not only helped me grow as a leader, but also as a person."
