Continuing Leadership Coaching
Tailored leadership coaching is an integral component of the EPGDM, honing leadership and management skills and helping students to become aware and intentionally modify their individual management styles. The coaching module runs throughout the entire EPGDM programme and the participants continue to get steady advice and backing from the faculty, mentors & coaches. The process involves analysis of your skills and potential and drawing up of an action plan with personal development goals that you can execute at your work. This module also includes group training courses that help you enhance your team leadership strengths while building a clear personal awareness of areas still in need of additional growth.
