We live and work in a world that is going through unprecedented transformation. The rapid rise of emerging economies, greater global mobility and a surge of retiring baby boomers are converging to create a profoundly shifting business environment.

The Pew Center for Research reports that every day for the next 17 years, 10,000 Americans will turn 65. Combine this with a shrinking replacement workforce and an increasingly complex cultural business environment, and an obvious senior-level skill gap emerges.

Tony Vrba, an assistant professor at Regis University, believes that addressing this gap will involve identifying and developing business leaders with a sophisticated understanding of human behavior and the ability to strategically navigate and manage rapid change.

“Tomorrow’s leaders will need to understand the science of human behavior in order to lead cross-generational and cross-cultural staff. As clusters of senior managers reach retirement age, succession planning is going to become critically important. Teams will become increasingly collaborative rather than hierarchal, and the people leading these teams will need to be able to blend astute business knowledge with the ability
to develop and mentor
employees.”

This philosophy of contemporary leadership is the cornerstone of Regis University’s Master of Science in Organization Leadership (MSOL) degree. The MSOL focuses specifically, and in depth, on the leadership function in organizations. The curriculum is intended to give all individuals exposure to organizational development, strategic planning and process improvement.

“The MSOL program at Regis develops leaders who understand and can successfully apply tools of behavior analysis to make decisions and improve processes,” explains Vrba.

In addition to the contemporary leadership curriculum, adult students will benefit from a university that truly understands collaboration. For more information, visit
