Specific Competency Development
Senior leadership shoulders the responsibility of building business strategy, leading organizations with confidence during change and inspiring stakeholders continuously. In most organizations, the mid-managers transition to senior leadership with the existing functional expertise, but the new responsibilities demand them to hold a macro view of the organization and its operating environment.
We understand the complexities and challenges of a senior leadership role. Our competency framework-based leadership development program/workshop is a researched program developed through experience and insights over years of work across client industries.
In our competency development training programs, we customize global content to the local context that helps organizations to equip their senior-level leaders with high performing leadership behaviours required to achieve transformational growth.

Influencing
The ability to influence is one of the critical skills for leaders at senior levels. Conventionally speaking, influence and power/authority were intrinsically linked. However, now with organizations becoming flattered, organization structures becoming matrix and processes becoming dependent on collaboration, it is no longer that simple. In many ways, the ability to get things done without the support of traditional power structures is all about the ability to influence others.
