You are a successful leader! You must have done many things right to get there, but “the paradox about success is that the ways that got you where you are, seldom are those that keep you there” (Charles Handy). We live in a fast-changing world with rapidly advancing technology, intensifying competition, and demanding customers facing a plethora of choices.
As senior executives, you are the power engines of your organizations, called upon to provide leadership and direction, to strategize, to inspire and to motivate. Yet the pressures of the day-to-day management are such that they leave you no time for keeping up with new ideas and practices and no time for reflection and exploration of new frontiers. The “urgent” has become the enemy of the “important”! We end up managing rather than leading, while rapid change and emerging competition eats quietly into our leadership, profits and market position, creating more management problems to deal with, further distracting us from our core strategic leadership role.
The Executive Leadership Programme (ELP) aims to bring to you new, exciting ideas, cutting edge methods, and winning practices from around the world; the programme is taught by distinguished professors and management gurus, some with fortune-500 experience, from the world’s leading business schools such as Harvard, London Business School and INSEAD. More than a hundred and fourty visionary business leaders have benefitted from the programme during the past seven years of its operation, and they are now lifetime members of the Executive Leaders Club.
