Emerging Leaders Programme Launch Webinar

Why It Matters

As organizations face AI, tech disruption, hybrid work and geopolitical uncertainty, the programme targets the growing need for leaders who can influence across people, systems and strategy rather than merely manage tasks. Equipping managers with these skills can improve organizational decision-making, alignment and resilience in volatile environments.

Summary

The webinar introduced an Emerging Leaders Programme designed to help mid-career managers shift from operational delivery to strategic influence across systems. Over a 13-week curriculum—offered fully online or as a blended format with a three-day on-campus module—the program covers strategy, leadership, governance and practical tools for navigating ambiguity and cross-functional decision-making. Presenters framed emerging leaders as those who must move from solving problems themselves to shaping choices, aligning stakeholders and influencing outcomes beyond their direct authority. The session also outlined faculty involvement, program rhythm and the application process, with an interactive Q&A for prospective participants.
