Transformational Leadership: Insights from World Literature
A lasting text is the one that lends itself to interpretation in changing times. Stereotypes and clichés dominate our thinking, fatiguing our minds and thereby our perspective. They stampede our personal vision and sabotage our individuality. To use some of the best-written books to cull out the meaning of leadership and our roles as professionals is an overarching objective of this program.

The program will be completely discussion based and will, by virtue of the subject at hand, be socio-psychological in orientation. There will be a deliberate attempt to correlate the traditional with the modern and the ancient with the contemporary with the hope of deciphering the leitmotif in the human condition. And what abiding principles of leadership may these then reveal! The aim is to understand the deeper issues that influence our world, to build perspective so that we can see the big things as big and the small things as small. You will at the end of this program need to draw conclusions about who you are and what value you can add to the environment you operate in. The purpose of the "Insights" is to set out on the journey of personal excellence by following 'knowledge beyond the utmost bound of human thought'.
