Methodology
360° Assessment
The program starts with:
- Comprehensive online 360° assessment to assess the current level of development
- One-on-one session between the participant and one of our expert coaches to develop a Personal Development Plan for their program participation.
Workshop
The in-class workshop is an extremely interactive and intensive 10 days spread over the four-month program.
Coaching
One-on-one coaching is provided to each participant from the time of the enrollment and continuing for a period of maximum six months. Coaching sessions are held once every two weeks but not exceeding 12 sessions over a six-month period.
Journaling
One key distinguishing feature of the program is the instilling of new habits, one of which is journaling. These new habits form new neural pathways for making the pillars an integral part of the leadership DNA of the participants and bring behavioral change that is key to improving business performance.
