Harvard's: Leadership in Crisis

One week immersion in crisis leadership

Harvard's Kennedy School is hosting a Leadership in Crises Executive Program in April, 2018. Before you read much further, it does cost $8,500 to attend.

A brief summary is below:

Leadership in Crises will provide you and a global cohort of your peers with a greater understanding of:

-The dynamics of emergencies overall and what differentiates crisis situations from routine emergencies
-The role leadership plays in crafting and executing appropriate responses and preparing organizations in advance of a crisis
-The skills leaders need for working decisively in the highly concentrated time-frame of an emergency, while maintaining a focus on managing and motivating a team
-The critical demands of large-scale crises that engage multiple response organizations from many jurisdictions and levels of government
-The tensions that frequently arise between senior emergency management professionals and political leaders and how they can work together effectively

My question is, who's got a budget that would allow on individual to attend? I can't think of any state or local governments that have that kind of money. Or, maybe I've spent too many years "down on the farm."
