We are keenly aware that investing in executive development during a time of dramatic budget cuts, furloughs, and hiring and pay freezes might seem paradoxical. Yet the only real solution to doing more with less is to develop new ways of thinking and adopt new tools for leading.
Brookings Executive Education’s (BEE) new paradigm for executive success—Leading Thinking™—provides the mind-set and frameworks to lead organizations in this challenging environment.
The Brookings Executive Education 2013-2014 course catalog is now available. BEE is managed by Olin Business School in partnership with the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C.
