The Arison Leadership Development Program is an integral part of the MBA and Global MBA studies at the Arison School of Business. Modelled after similar programs offered at INSEAD and IMD, the Arison Leadership Development Program (ALDP) provides students with an opportunity to embark on a learning journey that is deeply personal.

The ALDP opens with Arison’s flagship leadership workshop. A core requirement for all incoming MBA and Global MBA students, this intensive three-day workshop enables students to learn about the covert dynamics of leadership and authority as they play out across all levels of organizational matrices. Facilitated by leading clinical and organizational psychologists, the retreat increases students’ awareness of their own leadership styles, and of the irrational forces that often drive organizational decision making in the field.
