Better Your Leadership Impact

In a business landscape that is changing exponentially, leadership requires continuous learning, applying insight to strategy and practices and adapting processes and operations to digitalisation and AI, hybrid working, competitive markets, faster product cycles and shifting customer preferences. To drive sustainable business growth and profitability, just having a corporate strategy is not enough. Understanding how to successfully execute the strategy is critical for assuring results and an impact that matters. Those organisations that succeed will be led by leaders who have the skills to think, act and influence strategically.

To help you accomplish this, IIM Calcutta is offering the 19th batch of the one-year Executive Programme in Leadership and Management. This career-defining programme has enabled scores of alumni through its previous seventeen batches to visualise strategic moves, identify allies, induce collaborations, manage fast growth, create organisational resilience and nurture people, amongst other learnings. By setting new perspectives and clearing blind spots, this programme will help you learn, anticipate, interpret and align to new hallmarks of managerial leadership through an approach grounded in data-driven research and practical business insight.
