Programme content

Go from individual contributor to inspiring leader

Leverage your strengths as a leader to build a collaborative and supportive remote team environment.

Three key themes run through the programme, each developing a vital set of skills needed to lead teams successfully:

Leadership: Undergo a personality assessment for unique insight into your leadership style and the effect your approach has on others.
Teams: Learn about the behaviours that build a collaborative and supportive team environment and develop your social awareness to successfully manage conflict.

Delivering results: Build a skillset to get results through others through team exercises, leadership simulations, case discussions, negotiation, coaching, influencing and action planning.

Our globally-acclaimed faculty arms you with a toolkit for the real-world, giving you instantly applicable skills to face current and future challenges.
Gain from our faculty’s experience and expertise to make your leadership transition as smooth and successful as possible.
Immerse yourself in team simulations to put your learning into immediate action for instant results.

Before you start, you complete the NEO PI-R personality assessment to help build your self-awareness.
Develop your social awareness and self-knowledge to understand your purpose as a new leader.
A combination of theory and practice embeds learning and makes it impactful.
Learn from top management scholars, such as Selin Kesebir who transforms leadership journeys through her expertise on leadership and teams, and Niro Sivanathan who shares his award-winning research on psychology of the self and decision-making.
