Transformational Leadership for Excellence program seeks to create a developmental framework for leaders through personal paradigm shifts. The program will consist of three three-hour sessions, interspersed over three days.
Background
Social transformation and sustainable development must be accompanied by dynamic leadership and ethical governance. The World Bank Institute defines leadership as the process of intentionally mobilizing people, ideas, meaning and resources towards achieving a purpose. However, such leadership cannot happen without leaders who combat systemic corruption, who place peoples’ concerns before their own, who encourage tolerance and ethnic harmony, and who are willing to take responsibility for change.
Approach & Methodology:
IAHV recognizes that effective leadership requires a transformation in the attitude, approach, and actions of leaders at different levels of present-day society. This transformation is the consequence of a personal paradigm shift, when an individual recognizes the need for such transformation, and then undertakes to make the requisite change. Transformational Leadership for Excellence facilitates this personal shift through a three-module program.
The first module, the Personal Empowerment and Dynamism module, comprises of techniques designed to aid participant achievement of a calm and peaceful state of mind, the necessary prerequisite toward transformation.
The second module, the Visioning and Modeling Change module, focuses on tangible steps towards realizing participant vision for sustainable and progressive development. The module addresses vision and planning; participant perception and communication skills; and potential personal, social and economic challenges and methods to overcome them.
The third module, the Enhancing Connectedness and Teamwork module, combines the first and second modules, and demonstrates how personal transformation translates into leadership. The module places emphasis on vital aspects of leadership such as ethics, interpersonal skills, team building, and mentoring.
