Enlightened leadership differentiates superior leaders in complex business environments. At Baldwin Wallace, we aim to empower students to become more than managers. By equipping you with the tools to guide your team with empathy, self-awareness and integrity, we enable you to become a transformative leader.
Through a combination of unique competencies in systems thinking, conflict transformation, mindfulness, change management, design thinking and emotional resilience, you'll learn the managerial and interpersonal skills that are used by the highest-ranking leaders. The graduate certificate in enlightened leadership will prepare you to excel by becoming an enlightened presence with differentiating leadership capabilities.
This innovative program was developed with the help of our faculty expert and former TEDx speaker, Dr. Param Srikantia. Watch his TED Talk, "Why Life Sucks" below to learn more about what it means to be an enlightened leader.

Schedule and Class Participation
Classes meet on weeknight evenings and students choose how to participate with three options for attending classes: in-person, in real-time online or by watching a recording. All three options can be utilized throughout the program based on the most convenient option for your schedule. This format enables you to balance a busy schedule and earn a credential in less time than a traditional MBA or other master's program.
Stackable Certificates
