Our Faculty
Born out of the legendary Interpersonal Dynamics (“Touchy Feely”) class — the most popular elective course at the Stanford Graduate School of Business — the Fellows program is overseen by LIT’s co-founder and world-class teacher Dr. Carole Robin. Carole most recently served as the Faculty Director of the Interpersonal Dynamics for High Performance Executives Program at the Stanford GSB.
In close collaboration with Carole, LIT’s Stanford-trained, expert facilitators help participants build the interpersonal capacities that characterize high-performance leadership.
Participants
Our 2025 Fellows Cohort will be limited to 100 participants and will be handpicked from founders nominated by the tech community for the potential of their companies and their own commitment to growth as leaders.
In intimate groups of 12-13, LIT Fellows will master the interpersonal skills essential for professional success and for building high-performing cultures where both people and profits thrive.
