POD’s Corporate Social Responsibility Projects
International Leadership Programme
Content and Aim
This is an opportunity to develop yourself and your career. The programme is based around an international paradigm and will enable you to think and act as a global manager identifying appropriate strategies, building a network of strong relationships and realising your talent.
Prior to coming on the course participants will complete the ‘International Readiness Check’ online profile, a tool that assesses the four competencies – Intercultural Communication, Building Commitment, Intercultural Sensitivity and Managing Uncertainty. During the eight day programme the participants will develop these cognitive, behavioural and motivational competencies through experiential activities and case-studies.
The learning will result in pragmatic ideas that will be applicable immediately. Development and action planning – What are the key challenges in your job right now?
