Programme Overview
The programme aims to provide a holistic perspective on the role of enlightened leaders in creating responsible businesses in the emerging environment. While the building blocks of enlightened leadership and responsible business have evolved over the years, the pandemic has helped bring those issues to the centre stage. There is a need to realign businesses to keep up with the changing expectations from investors, customers, employees, suppliers and larger community and society.
Leaders will understand their role in creating purpose driven organizations that address real needs of the people they serve, while complying with environmental, social and governance norms, even as they pursue their financial goals. After making a case for the need for leaders to take more holistic perspective in the initial sessions, the rest of the sessions focus on elements of organization design that leaders can develop/implement to enable employees, a key stakeholder group, to stay true to their personal goals and organization purpose to achieve sustainable high performance.
