IIM Kozhikode will conduct a special training programme in leadership and management for senior diplomats and government officials from 17 countries in collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) initiative.
The five-day programme, to be held from October 21-25, 2019, has been tailored by the faculties of IIM Kozhikode and is about surviving and thriving in a volatile, uncertain and non-linear world, said an official statement issued by the institute. It is christened ‘Leadership 4.0: Management & Governance in the emerging world of disruption’.
Underlining its importance, Director of IIM Kozhikode Prof Debasis Chatterjee said: “organisations, including government entities, need reflection time and dedicated attention towards developing high potential leaders who can navigate and create value in a changing world.”
The focus will be on the following four disciplines:
- •Authenticity (Closing the gap between you and your own reality)
- •Connectivity (Creating resonance)
- •Productivity (The art of undoing)
- •Possibility (Changing mental models)
Prof Rudra Sensarma, Dean (Research, Innovation & Internationalisation), IIM Kozikode, said ‘Leadership 4.0’ will be attended by over 22 foreign diplomats, civil servants from 17 partner countries like Malaysia, Ethiopia, Zambia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bhutan, Mauritius, Kenya, Egypt, Oman, Nigeria, Tanzania, Botswana, Gambia, Maldives, Panama and Indonesia.
