Emerging Leaders

Whether you're preparing for your first leadership role, stepping up to greater responsibility, or positioning yourself for advancement, the sooner you start thinking like a leader, the sooner others start seeing you as one.

UBC Sauder Emerging Leaders Bootcamp is a high-impact program designed to provide practical tools essential for leading in complex, real-world environments.

Grounded in original research by instructor and project leadership expert Robert Goatham, this program helps you navigate the nuanced realities of leadership — from influencing without authority to aligning people and priorities.

You'll develop a sharper sense of self-awareness, learn to communicate and make decisions with greater clarity, and gain the ability to build trust, generate buy-in, and lead through uncertainty. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a personalized framework to guide your continued leadership growth.

This isn’t theory — it’s a leadership accelerator. If you're ready to move from potential to performance, this is your next step.

This program is designed for individuals engaged in team leadership positions or professionals transitioning into leadership, including technical specialists, operational leads, emerging project leaders/managers, and entrepreneurs spanning various sectors.
