Overview of the THIERRY programmes

 

In each of the school's courses  there is a comprehensive personal development (leader growth) component, in combination with the formal curriculum, and with the participant's professional life (part-time or full-time occupation). Our courses aim at meeting the needs of the individual, in his (her) being both a learner and a leader. The leader-role (leadership) includes high responsibilities, especially in human terms. We therefore deem that the best leader-learning and developmental mode, one that actually typifies the THIERRY leadership school, is the progressive learning plus one-by-one or person-centred approach. We expect that our programme participants be engaged in their own working environments, where their enhanced leader-growth (leader-action) is effectively being demonstrated. When seeking admission into our programmes one finds a foundational requirement, namely the strong want or intrinsic will (and personal meaning, or calling) to become a (better) leader, or leader-educator. In the international programmes that are offered either online, or in-classroom,  or by a combination of several educational methods and forms of learning facilitation and guidance, one also discovers the existence of the School's cherished esprit de corps, or "one-to-team-to-one" spirit.
