Organizational Leadership and Change
MIT Sloan's 15.317 blends leadership theory with hands-on practice. Students revisit their own past leadership experiences, extract lessons from them, and apply those lessons in real time through active participation in leadership classes and related activities. The course structure emphasizes short, recurring deliverables rather than a single final exam, pushing students to iterate on their leadership approach throughout the term. Materials on MIT OpenCourseWare include the syllabus, assignment prompts, and reflective exercises used in the class, giving a clear picture of how the Sloan School structures experiential leadership training. There is no video lecture series; the course is built around participation and written reflection rather than passive viewing. Free to access, with no certificate offered through OpenCourseWare.
