Leading with Joy: Leveraging the Mind to Achieve Greater Impact Executive Education Open Programme
Programme Directors : Prof. Ramya Ranganathan
Programme Dates : 03 – 04 December 2018
Programme Venue : Central Pergola, IIMB Campus
Programme Overview :
Today’s executives are increasingly looking for ways in which they can be more engaged in their work and be energized by what they do. Given that people are spending more time at work, a feeling of disconnect with the job can easily erode one’s overall sense of well being. At the other end of the spectrum, when work becomes a calling or like a sport, then one’s job itself can become the high-point of one’s existence. Work can be a vehicle through which one can find deep satisfaction and purpose in life. A key challenge these days, is not merely working for the sake of livelihood, but engaging with work so it energizes and provides a context that adds meaning to one's own identity.
With the growing popularity of positive psychology tools being applied to the organizational context, managing emotions (of oneself and others) is becoming a critical tool for leaders. Emotional Intelligence is increasingly becoming a ‘necessary’ rather than ‘good to have’ skill. As scientists are learning more about the wiring of the brain and the role played in the functioning of the brain by emotions of on self and others (the latter accentuated by the discovery of mirror neurons), organizational scholars are racing to put these findings to use in the corporate world. In this program we will cover a few critical workplace applications of some of the latest findings in positive psychology and neuroscience and discuss ways to use this knowledge to make our own and other’s work experiences more joyful and productive. The basic tenet underlying this course is that happiness and productivity go hand in hand and the presence of one need not preclude the absence of the other
