Leadership Courses

Traditional approaches to leadership no longer work. To gain a competitive advantage in today’s global marketplace, aspiring, new, and experienced leaders need a brand-new orientation to the new tenets of leadership. From fostering and driving strategic leadership and innovation at their workplace to sharpening foresight and agility to act more decisively — the new leadership mantra is to think with customer-centricity, decide more strategically and lead high-performing teams with more confidence.

At a time when only 35% of leaders said they are effective at managing change (Global Leadership Forecast, 2021), how do you gain the strategic insight and functional diversity you need without taking too much time away from work?

The world of business is undergoing rapid changes. Today’s workforce demands a new leadership style that includes a distributed power structure and an entrepreneurial and digital DNA. Several industry reports suggest that top management is on the hunt for leaders who can build their capability and mindset to be sharp, agile, and prepared to take on multiple roles and complex challenges. It’s one reason why 90% of CEOs in India would like to invest in leadership and talent development over the next three years (According to the 24th Global CEO Survey – The India Outlook, PwC, 2021).

Responding to these trends, the significant roles and responsibilities of a leader include:

• Coaching team members on achieving goals and developing the necessary skills to accelerate their career
• Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the team and formulating a business plan that ensures timely deliveries
• Establishing effective organisational structure and communication protocols
• Organising initiatives to increase work efficiency, productivity, and motivation
• Problem-solving business challenges and tapping opportunities for business growth and success

The scope of leadership in India looks bright because of the rapid economic growth and the need for future-ready experienced leaders who can help lead their organisations and navigate complex business challenges. According to a recent report from Forbes (2022), executive presence skills came in second among the top 20 leadership traits and accounted for 26% of what it takes to get promoted to leadership positions. This invites the question of where one should begin to accelerate their career growth not just to reach but thrive in the C-Suite. Therefore, to succeed, investing in developing the right leadership skills and being an effective leader is no longer a choice but a necessity.
