SBS-HC290 Honors Challenge Leadership in Finance

Most of us are familiar with the names Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Abigail Johnson, Massayoshi Son and Paul Volcker. Other than leading their respective financial establishments through difficult challenges, might their exist other commonalities among those and other successful leaders in finance? In this course, we will examine the shared, but not so common attributes of effective leadership in finance, and seek to develop a framework for financial leadership. In light of the current state of the economy, particular attention will also be paid to leading through crisis. Analysis of issues and events, as well as general findings will be based on exhaustive research (i.e. a blend of reliable and scholarly sources), analytical reasoning and basic principles of finance.
