Programme for Leadership Development

Is there anything more exciting than managing an organisation?

The Programme for Leadership Development knows the passion of talented executives for taking charge, and it is designed specifically to help them master the challenges of General Management. The programme's objectives are to:

• Help the manager define and build the organisation's future, providing a global framework with which to make decisions, as well as the strategies to protect the organisation from threats.
• Develop the manager's self-awareness, perfecting his or her personal leadership style to promote staff growth and organisational success.
• Enrich the manager's experience with that of other programme participants, business leaders and professors, broadening the manager's professional network.

The Programme for Leadership Development is designed for executives and high potentials with substantial responsibilities within their companies and several years of work experience. These people are committed to their organisations and their own professional development and want to complement their previous training and management experience with specific general management skills and know-how.

Participants should have at least a business-level command of English in order to participate fully in all programme sessions.
