Programme Overview
In an era characterized by perpetual change and escalating complexity, effective leadership necessitates attributes beyond mere functional expertise. Senior executives are now required to function as “force multipliers”—individuals who proactively cultivate organizational culture, galvanize their teams, and adeptly manage uncertainty.
Regrettably, leaders spearheading organizational transformation frequently neglect their personal development, often operating under antiquated mental models ill-suited to contemporary requirements. This programme offers a systematic, introspective trajectory intended to revitalize perspectives, reframe established paradigms, and fundamentally re-align leadership practices. The principal objective is to enable leaders to champion change with profound purpose, steadfast resilience, and quantifiable impact, initiating this transformation from within.
