About the Leadership in Management programme
Leadership in Management is a meticulously crafted leadership development programme designed to equip senior managers and aspiring leaders with the essential skills, insights, and strategies needed to navigate today’s complex business landscape with confidence. Through a blend of experiential learning, interactive workshops, and personalised coaching, participants delve deep into the core principles of leadership excellence.

More about us.
Our Methodology
We do not teach; we engineer experiences that reflect key challenges leaders will face in the workplace and enable learning by experience. Under pressure, default behaviours occur. Our approach to leadership is experiential learning, combining intellectual understanding with emotional appreciation. We believe this approach allows for the maximum learning output.
To quote John Dewey, “We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience”.

What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning is an educational approach that emphasises hands-on, active engagement with learning materials and concepts. Instead of traditional methods like lectures or textbooks, experiential learning encourages delegates to directly engage with real-world experiences, problems, and challenges to deepen their understanding and develop practical skills.
In experiential learning, learners actively participate in activities where they can directly apply what they’ve learned in a tangible context. This approach encourages reflection on experiences, allowing learners to draw connections between theory and practice, identify patterns, and derive meaningful insights.
Overall, experiential learning fosters a more interactive, dynamic and engaging educational experience, enabling learners to develop both practical skills and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
