Leadership Lab is a one-of-a-kind, leadership course that immerses you in real-world leadership challenges. This non-traditional course offers practical experiences not typically covered in traditional leadership classrooms. This hands-on learning experience is crucial for Stanford students who want to combine technical know-how with leadership in cross-functional teams. Throughout the quarter, students will be immersed in a range of experiences where they will be asked to apply what they are learning live. Some examples from past years: working directly with a business leadership team to implement organizational changes; learning practical leadership techniques from professional sports teams; focusing on the art of gathering and how to leverage physical space, context and analogue artifacts to guide others effectively, without formal authority; and working to articulate the core values in yourself as a leader and in your team to build a genuine sense of shared purpose. Leadership Lab is a must-take class for anyone eager to develop practical leadership skills that stick, no matter the environment. There are only MS&E 28 spots available. Submit your application by March 8, 2027 5p PST at: https://forms.gle/B4sFZxjTaN4fFvRQ9. For questions, reach out to the teaching team. Undergraduates are also encouraged to apply.
