Become a “Dr” while redefining leadership through original research and applied excellence.

 

The Doctor of Business Leadership (DBL) is a professional doctorate designed for senior executives, entrepreneurs, and directors who aim to bridge the gap between advanced leadership theory and practical organizational impact. Unlike a traditional PhD, which focuses on developing new academic theories, the DBL emphasizes applied research to solve complex, real-world leadership challenges. The UniSey Doctor of Business Leadership not only trains leaders to apply rigorous scientific inquiry to their professional practice, effectively becoming “practitioner-scholars but also equips executives to lead large, multi-unit organizations in intensely competitive global markets. The Doctorate program is best suited for Current and aspiring C-Suite executives (CEOs, COOs, CFOs) and Business Unit Leaders aiming for top-tier organizational responsibility, senior government officials, directors of non-profits, and leaders in complex multi-stakeholder environments like politics or international, as well as educators or lecturers who wish to enhance their teaching with advanced, applied research focused on leadership. Independent or high-level firm consultants who want to back their advisory services with evidence-based research and a “practitioner-scholar” credential are also well placed to attend the program.
