On the learning of leadership, on learning by oneself... 

    Evaluating the challenge  

Can distance education be effective in the learning of leadership? The answer is yes, if the program meets each person's learning abilities and specific needs, and if there is an interaction with the professional environment. Many leaders acquire new competencies by assiduous self-study and constant self-improvement, and therewith expresses a desire and willingness to learn in a personalized mode and in an individual setting.  

      Identifying one's determination

Even when study-guidance and course mentoring are provided, self-study requires a certain ability that is within the reach of some: self-supportive perseverance or determination. Therefore, succeeding in an online or blended learning leader development programme is a perfect demonstration of effective self-leadership.

    Receiving appropriate support

It cannot be denied that appropriate external support is a key factor in the success of a "self-student". At the Thierry Graduate School the "We Care for Each Person" motto is  experienced by the individual coaching support we offer to each of our online programme-participants. Furthermore, there is extensive personalization of  your programme-content. As a Graduate School that is solely dedicated to (post)graduate leadership studies THIERRY offers you an additional stronghold in your leadership development.
