Leadership Development Programme (LDP)

You may be a natural-born leader, but wait and see what you'll be capable of after two years at AFMI.

Quality of leadership can make the difference between a successful and a failed company. Investing in building effective leaders and leadership practices is a must for any organization to prosper.

Leadership development is central to our mission. On joining, all students of the Post Graduate Programme at the AFMI go through the Leadership Development Programme (LDP), which inculcates a spirit of team play and leadership through a series of lectures, discussions, workshops and group practice sessions. Essential skills for leadership like effective listening and communication, presentation, team building, assertiveness and problem solving are developed. You get to learn the technical skills, emotional intelligence and cognitive abilities required to be a leader.

The LDP focuses on individual growth through a three-fold approach of self-reflection, peer evaluation and facilitator intervention. Leadership development is most effective when change is backed by assessment and support. And change itself is to come out of your comfort zone and learn from new experiences.

Why Management and Leadership Development Today?

Consider the following:

• The business and economic climate is more challenging today than ever before and not likely to get any easier.
• Competition is global - even if your business is local. Competitive products come from anywhere.
• It is increasingly difficult to create a high performing organization.
• Knowledge workers require a different way of being managed, and respond to a different type of leadership.
• Customer loyalty can no longer be taken for granted. It has to be re-earned every day.
• Financial pressures require that organizations do more and more with less and less every year.
• Business stability is a thing of the past. White water rafting is a more accurate description of today's business environment

Leadership and management skills are among the most critical resources for facing these challenges. That's why leadership development is so essential, especially in turbulent times.

Leadership...perhaps the only truly sustainable competitive advantage.
