As a leader, some of the most critical decisions you will make will be about people. Whom should you hire? With whom should you partner or collaborate? In whom should you invest? Whether you are a manager, a founder, or an investor, developing your ability to evaluate and select exceptional talent will accelerate your impact. This course has been designed to teach leaders the practical skills of talent assessment, so you can deepen your knowledge of leadership behaviors, recognize leadership potential, and increase your confidence in selection choices. During interactive lectures, you will contemplate prominent leadership theories to understand the behaviors associated with high performance leadership, and you will debate the efficacy of selection data and methodologies. In highly experiential classes, you will learn how to design an effective selection process and how to conduct structured behavioral based interviews to evaluate leadership potential. Using 360 input from supervisors, peers, and subordinates, you also will deepen your understanding of your own leadership potential, identifying which leadership behaviors you can develop further to accelerate your impact. Through this process of self-reflection, you will deepen your understanding of assessment, sharpen your evaluation instincts, and learn to identify growth opportunities for yourself and others.

'There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.' -- Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. We have a broken care system in the U.S. Americans spend $648 billion annually on care, and it is expected to grow. There is a significant labor shortage of trained caregivers. Currently, 53 million Americans serve as unpaid family caregivers to someone who is aging, ill, or living with a disability. The childcare market is similarly unaffordable, fragmented, and broken. Every business leader today is confronting the complexities of a workforce of young parents, often challenged to find care for their children and/or their parents and family members. These markets, often referred to as the Care Economy, are overlooked and ripe for reinvention with the potential for enormous social impact. This course will expose students to key insights about the Care Economy from the perspective of entrepreneurs, investors, caregivers, and business leaders. We will explore the spectrum of care needs, from children to older adults, and how other developed economies such as Singapore, Denmark and Japan have created their care systems and addressed the needs of working families. During the course, students will meet several distinguished thought leaders working to build a better care system, including the CEO of a leading care navigation company, major investors in the care economy, key business leaders spearheading public-private partnerships for caregiving, and policy innovators. The course will include cases, panels with entrepreneurs, class exercises, and lectures. Class topics will include:-How employers¿ support for employees with caregiving responsibilities can benefit their organization.-Understanding the breadth of industries and services that encompass the Care Economy. -Learning about the ¿triangle¿ of payors, purchasers and users of care services and products.-Identifying the different needs and complexities of caring for infants, children, older adults. -The Care Economy innovation ecosystem: opportunities, challenges, and best practices.-The important role of policy, both within organizations as well as local, state and national initiatives, to create a better care system for people from their 'first breath to their last.'
