Exercising Leadership: Foundational Principles

This course had a real impact on humanizing leadership for me. You don't have to carry it all alone, you can do mistakes and be open. Also, it reminded me the importance of leaning on each other.

Being part of the Harvard global community of learners means connecting with a diverse group of individuals who share a common goal of growth and development. It’s not just about gaining knowledge from world-class professors like Professor Ronald Heifetz, but also about learning from the experiences, perspectives, and challenges of fellow learners from around the world. It’s an opportunity to collaborate, exchange ideas, and challenge myself in ways I wouldn’t be able to in a local environment.

The course made me see many important things to achieve objectives, the necessary tools, mutual help between colleagues, managing situations and differentiating moments of emotionality and rationality. Knowing how to find one, take care of oneself, and then help the other, is to adapt in each area and lead with courage.

Having had the opportunity to take a course at the greatest university in the world (in my opinion), is a source of pride. I can only imagine when I share the certificate with the Harvard logo on my Linkedin. Wow... I have no words.

This opportunity meant the world to me. Coming from a region with very limited access to global academic platforms, I became one of the very few students from my province to experience learning with Harvard. It was not just a course for me but a moment of belief, confidence, and hope. I am deeply grateful and thankful for this chance.

From a corporate perspective, these courses (Rhetoric and Exercising Leadership) changed my career and the way I see topics that were previously unclear or not well directed. I have always enjoyed the subject of speech, and as a leader in one of the largest IT corporations in Brazil, communication, combined with action, is essential.

This course helped me develop a more strategic mindset, especially in how I deal with people, conflict, and decision-making. I also became more aware of the difference between technical and adaptive challenges, which I now apply in my daily work. It gave me tools to handle complex situations better, build trust with others, and make more thoughtful decisions, which will help me move forward both professionally and personally.
