New Delhi: A women leadership programme under the Management Development Programme (MDP) for 30 women officers of Mahanadi Coalfields Limited was organised by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Sambalpur. The two-day event was aimed at providing guidance on various verticals of business.
IIM Sambalpur director, professor Mahadeo Jaiswal and Director – Personnel, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, Keshav Rao inaugurated the programme.
The programme presented an insightful session on “Leading self: Emotional Intelligence & Stress management, Work-life-family integration and Empathetic Communication.”
IIM faculty members and resource individuals Prof. Shikha Bhardwaj, Prof. Atri Sengupta and Prof. Bhumika Gupta shared knowledge with Mahanadi Coalfields Limited’s women officers.
“The transformation around the world requires a new thinking, self-well-being, making sense of shifting market dynamics, developing new strategic directions and energizing people. IIM-S is focused on providing support to organisations and helping them think bigger and differently, to cultivate growth potential of new markets, to redefine markets in their own vision, and engage customers and employees in more relevant and inspiring ways,” IIM Sambalpur said via a statement.
“This program is quite special to IIM-S as we believe in Inclusivity in all aspects and as an Institute we strongly contribute to an ecosystem of developing women leaders at workplace. In the present scenario of enhanced technology and post-pandemic changes at the workplace, women will get more opportunities to perform better,” Professor Jaiswal said.
“Such programmes are not only important for higher leadership roles but also for women empowerment. It is important for organisations to develop a conducive work environment that facilitates women to perform. The other gender plays a crucial role in supporting women to lead. Therefore, it calls for a collective responsibility among family, organisations and institutions at large,” said Keshav Rao.
