Overview
A senior corporate executive, facing the relentless pace of business, is expected to be a "force multiplier" today! It thus becomes imperative for the executive to be firmly grounded – while staying in control of one's context – in the pursuit of leading oneself, one's team, and one's organization to greater heights of accomplishment and performance. While the maturing executive does come to terms with the cross-functional requirements of the widening ambit of one's roles and responsibilities, it is usually in investing in one's competencies and capabilities that one falls short. One's competencies may thus get taken for granted. These capabilities, at their root, spring from the mental models that no longer meet the tests of the times. This program helps aspiring senior leaders take a hard close look at themselves and reassess their preparedness to handle the increasingly complex world beset with a multitude of challenges and opportunities.
