Our Story
Leaders Excellence had its first meeting with a select group of founding members and fellows at the Harvard Faculty Club in 2014, the same year as it was incorporated in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. At this meeting, the president Dan Hoeyer laid out the vision for Leaders Excellence.
“Our vision is to connect leaders worldwide by making high-quality business education and lifelong learning accessible, flexible, and affordable. Through innovation and a robust academic network, we aim to empower individuals and organizations to achieve their goals and create meaningful impact globally.”
Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square is a premier global provider of leadership development, offering expert-led online executive education programs and an exclusive, members-only online leadership club at Harvard Square.
Our programs are crafted to meet the highest U.S. education standards, underscoring our commitment to excellence in online learning. Our affiliation with AACSB International positions Leaders Excellence among the world’s top educational institutions, dedicated to maintaining rigorous academic standards.
We are affiliated with the Harvard Square Business Association, integrating us into a vibrant educational community at Harvard Square. Our ties to Harvard are further enriched by our president’s 25 years of collaboration with Harvard faculty, along with memberships in the Harvard Faculty Club, the Harvard Varsity Club, and the National Business Education Association—demonstrating broader dedication to advancing business education nationwide.
Supported by globally recognized thought leaders, deans, professors, and academic affiliates from prestigious institutions such as Yale, MIT, Stanford, Wharton, and Harvard, Leaders Excellence serves as a hub of academic and professional distinction. Among our distinguished honorary fellows is Philip Kotler, the father of modern marketing, alongside other eminent scholars. While our network includes several professors from Harvard Business School, Leaders Excellence operates independently of Harvard University. Membership is highly selective and offered only by invitation or to those who meet specific criteria.
Our executive education offerings address essential topics for personal and organizational growth, ranging from professional certificates to Mini-MBA programs delivered online from Harvard Square. These self-paced courses provide participants with the flexibility and affordability they need to excel. Leaders Excellence Education℠, a registered service mark in Massachusetts, underscores our focus on delivering impactful educational experiences. The dedicated learning platform, LeadersExcellence.Education, serves as a hub for these programs.
