One might assume that attaining a senior leadership position marks the end of a learning trajectory. However, that is far from the reality. The prominence of artificial intelligence, volatile markets, and economic uncertainties has only gone on to demonstrate that in this dynamic world, leadership roles are blurring. Another facet of this challenge is the stoicism that senior leaders might project because of the belief that they need to know the answers after reaching the top rung of the corporate ladder. But the reality is that skill sets continue to change quickly, and what one may know today might not be relevant years down the line.
Recognizing this transforming world of work, IIM Calcutta is offering the 19th batch of the one-year Executive Programme in Leadership and Management. It has been devised to empower professionals to anticipate, interpret, and align with new hallmarks of managerial leadership from a perspective grounded in data-driven research and practical business insight.
