“Mobilizing People – Leadership from Within” event: A Raving Success

On March 31st/ April 1st, 2010 the Executive Institute welcomed Prof. Richard Jolly from London Business School as lecturer for its “Mobilizing People – Leadership from Within” event at the Four Seasons Nile Plaza.

A group of executives representing a variety of industries took the chance to participate in the two-day program reviewing and developing leadership skills as well as fostering their ability to persuade others to follow them.

The program focused on different components of leadership including examining the means of an effective executive and the main mistakes that managers make as they become more senior. An exercise on team leadership helped to foster the understanding of what motivates executives, managers and their employees to show extraordinary involvement and setting incentives accordingly. Learning techniques to manage the complex demands of leadership, through attributions, dealing with failure, self beliefs, and resilience, as well as the need to balance skill with authenticity were key outcomes of the program.

The feedback of all participants was consistently positive. Content, lecturer and organization of the event were graded very good and excellent, and the program was highly appreciated by all participants.

“Mobilizing People” was a raving success!
