Transformational Leadership
(Faculty: Fr. George Joseph SJ)

This course is designed to help enhance the understanding of Leadership skills. Leaders play crucial role in the making or breaking of an organization. Understanding the leadership concept and personal disposition and style are need of the hour for today’s managers. Present research studies indicate that leaders are not born but are created by the self-discipline and determination.
As long as we do not develop leadership potential within ourselves, we would continue to complain about the present state of affairs where we find ourselves. If we do not become aware of our leadership strengths and shortcomings, we might end up being the victims of sour grape syndrome.

Changing situations and the uncertainty of the direction and intensity of market forces demand that we learn to anticipate and be ever prepared to encounter newness in life and in the organization. This leadership course is developed to fulfill this need. It will help you as a leader, to enhance and effectively use your power not only in achieving your goals, but also in enabling others to lift themselves into their better selves.
