Course goals
Dealing with evolving externalities, ethical dilemmas, decision-making and communicating direction in the face of rising global uncertainty, aligning diverse international teams to exceed performance and working as a global change agent to create new value for organisations are some of the challenges novice leaders have to grapple with today. This module will provide participants with a rich understanding of the various leadership models, further enriching their self-reflection and activating their transition from a follower to a leader. This module is designed to enable participants to learn about different leadership frameworks and to reflect on various capabilities, and behaviours that are required to lead in a global environment. In addition, each student in this module will have an opportunity to receive individualised mentorship by a senior, more experienced leader. This aspect of the module will be delivered jointly with the Executive MBA (EMBA) programme at ISM University of Management and Economics.
