Today's organisations must focus on building a competitive advantage through its people. Executives recognise that the new challenge is how to build speed, flexibility and self-renewal. Clearly, today's organisations need competent and motivated people in order to grow and flourish. At the core of this challenge are the quality and maturity of leadership which is central to any organisation anywhere in the world. 

The programme is shaped by the extensive experience that Dr. Saar has accumulated in the last 30 years of his work as a consultant, teacher, researcher and administrator. The programme will rely on innovative teaching methodologies, promoting interaction, simulations and applications. Participants will have ample opportunities to relate their work environment and gain important knowledge from the discussion, case studies and theories.

  Comments From Participants
 

This was my second time taking Professor Sarr's course and I still came away with many new insights and ideas. Strategic Leadership is a necessary and effctive programme for individual development. From a unique theoretic perspective and through presenting vivid case studies and self-analyses, Professor Sarr taught us how we could get to know ourselves and the others (your subordinates and superiors) as well, and elevate our leadership abilities.

A leader does not necessarily possess leadership. A leader with leadership can only be prepared through knowledge learning, skill training, character cultivating and thinking developing.

Every manager is more an ordinary person than a leader. It is doubtless that as a leader, a manager needs to learn how to enhance strategic leadership skills. In addition to this, I have also gained a new thinking from the programme conducted by Professor Saar on how to succeed as an ordinary person with a positive life attitude.
