NEW HAVEN - Where do CEOs go to learn from one another? Head honchos from Michael Eisner to Sumner Redstone to Quincy Jones would likely cite the Chief Executive Leadership Institute (CELI), a combination think-tank and corporate management-education center.
Starting this summer, CELI has joined forces with the Yale School of Management (SOM) to offer the first university-based, peer-driven leadership education program for top executives.
Both programs bring scholars and real-world leaders together to explore broad academic frameworks and current business concepts. As part of the new partnership, CELI will bring Yale faculty and students into a closer learning partnership with prominent leaders across sectors.
At CELI forums, CEOs, faculty, and students will be invited to join in rapid-fire debates - a mainstay of the CELI approach to executive education. In addition, SOM will benefit from deepened corporate ties and corporate interest in sponsored research projects.
“Both the [SOM] and the CELI have as their missions educating leaders for business and society. The interaction of the world's top business executives with our students and faculty will be a wonderful formula for education that furthers this goal,” said Jeffrey E. Garten, dean of SOM.
On the immediate horizon is a New Haven-based conference scheduled for October 10-11 on The Legacy of Great Organizations. The invitation-only workshop will be limited to 100 attendees, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao; Rajat Gupta, managing director-worldwide of McKinsey & Co.; Cathleen Black, president of Hearst Magazines; James Kelly, CEO of UPS; John Eyler, CEO of Toys 'R' Us; Jean Firstenberg, head of the American Film Institute; Jeffrey Koplan, head of the Centers for Disease Control; and Marsha Johnson Evans, head of the Girl Scouts of America.
