Welcome to the ETP
The ESMT Executive Transition Program empowers emerging leaders to meet new management challenges head-on and to deliver lasting value to their organizations.
Today's complex, international business landscape provides unparalleled opportunities for women and men to rise to the challenge of leadership. Yet making the critical leap from functional expert to a general management role requires much more than specialized knowledge and experience. It requires a broad, 360-degree management perspective, with the ability to take on responsibility and bring lasting value to an organization.Now coming into its fifth year, the ESMT Executive Transition Program (ETP) helps working executives manage the transition to greater levels of leadership responsibility with advanced, focused business education.
The ETP has quickly built a strong tradition and an equally strong circle of alumni – exceptional individuals who have gone on to have an extraordinary impact on the success of their organizations. With the ETP, you will learn how to apply past experience and new knowledge to excel in new leadership roles. You will acquire the tools to meet new management challenges head-on: to accurately judge complex situations, to make the right decision, and to execute with confidence. And you will be taught by seasoned business and academic leaders – men and women who have successfully made this important transition themselves, and who have acquired the broad perspective and best practices necessary to succeed in a global marketplace.
We cordially invite you to join us as you embark on this important next step in your career. Together with a world-class faculty and high-caliber peers, you will acquire the critical tools, knowledge and insight necessary to achieve your goals – a blueprint that will guide you on your leadership journey.
