Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square

Leaders Excellence at Harvard Square is an online executive education provider and membership organization based in Cambridge. It offers leadership development programs leading to credentials such as the Harvard Square Certificate, the Harvard Square Mini-MBA and the Executive Mini-MBA, aimed at professionals who want flexible, MBA-level learning. A members-only online leadership club adds monthly podcasts, ebooks, webinars and skill-building sessions led by leadership experts.

The organization was incorporated in Harvard Square in 2014 and held its first meeting that year at the Harvard Faculty Club, where president Dan Hoeyer laid out a vision of accessible, flexible and affordable business education for leaders worldwide. Since then it has served thousands of professionals around the world. It draws on academic affiliates from schools such as Yale, MIT, Stanford and Wharton, but it is independent of Harvard University.
