Transformation and balance

Transformation and balance are two key elements in the expected role and behaviour of each leader, at all levels. Acting as a transformational lever that lifts the organisation to the achievement of its mission, a leader also ensures that the goals are shared by each member of an organisation that evolves to its new equilibrium. One major objective in our leadership programmes is the initiating of a transformation process: the growing into being a better prepared leader, including the finding of an improved if not - ideal - personal balance.

Perception, development and mastery

In our leadership curricula there is a process of guiding each participant to the mastery of improved managerial competencies, to the discovery and the deployment of untapped leadership abilities, and to a full-width perception and vision of the environments in which he (she) will evolve during his (her) career.

We prepare or groom our programme participants (the term participant  is preferred to that of student)  to junior and senior executive leadership- or in leadership education roles. At various stages throughout the programme, a participant gains a myriad of new insights and experiences. They allow him (her) to succeed in the face of the numerous challenges and changes entrusted to him (her) by an organisation and its people. In essence one learns how to become a guide...

The leader : a guide, and  meeting expectations

A leader-guide, with his (her) specific talents, responds effectively to the daily managerial, leadership, and related challenges. Wishing to further describe the depth and width that we strive to attain in our educational approach, here is a comprehensive overview of the set of talents, competencies, and skills of a leader  The "Guide's Shortlist"

Reaching the individual objectives

Each of the Faculty members of our institution fully underwrites the School's ambitious mission: to actively contribute to the learning of the indispensable competencies and skills each guide-leader of a human organisation needs to demonstrate, in becoming a true master in the art of leadership.  "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit" said Aristotle, more than two thousand three hundred years ago. That is still valid today, and obviously for the future as well.

Inspiring quotes:

"Example is leadership"

--  Albert Schweitzer

"If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart" 

--- Buddha

"Persons can be found who are good, very good indeed, in fact, great. There do in fact exist creators, seers, sages, saints, shakers, and movers ... even if they are uncommon and do not come by the dozen. And yet these very same people can at times be boring, irritating, petulant, selfish, angry, or depressed. To avoid disillusionment with human nature, we must first give up our illusions about it.”

--  Abraham Maslow
