About course
Transform into the finest version of you!

A senior corporate executive, facing the relentless pace of business, is expected to be a “force-multiplier” today! It thus becomes imperative for the executive to be firmly grounded – while staying in control of one’s context – in the pursuit of leading oneself, one’s team, and one’s organization to greater heights of accomplishment and performance.

While the maturing executive does come to terms with the cross-functional requirements of the widening ambit of one’s roles and responsibilities, it is usually in investing in one’s competencies and capabilities that one falls short. One’s competencies may thus get taken for granted. These capabilities, at their root, spring from the mental models that no longer meet the tests of the times.

This program helps aspiring senior leaders take a hard close look at themselves and reassess their preparedness to handle the increasingly complex world beset with a multitude of challenges and opportunities. A broad-based exposure to the many opportunities available at leading oneself, one’s teams, and the organization shall doubtlessly lead the way to a healthier, happier, and more engaged workplace that continues to deliver exceptional results.

Our continuing struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to manage one’s inner world effectively. Not only must the senior executive maintain one’s composure, but she must also role-model the unshakeable calming center in front of one’s team.

Carefully designed modules shall expose the participants to the distilled wisdom from various fields, including neurosciences, management, behavioral sciences, and psychology, to lead ourselves to create healthy organizational cultures that deliver. The content is rooted in neuroscience, scholarly research, practitioner field experiences, and clinically proven methodologies. We will appreciate why the Harvard Business Review calls mindfulness the “must‐have skill for executives” and how to leverage the same for extending one’s well-being along with that of our colleagues, teams, and organizations. The Holistic Mindfulness training module is a science- and practice-based method of catapulting your personal and professional lives into the next orbit. As perceptions of mental responses to external and internal stimuli get refined, a greater sense of mastery enables overall well-being and efficacy.

As Yoda wisely said, “You must unlearn what you have learned…. Do or do not. There is no try.” Here is inviting you to a journey that will transform how you look at yourself, life, and the world. Transformational results, both internal and external – as experienced by participants in the previous batches – shall surely follow.

It was a great transformational journey in the truest sense. I discovered quite a lot about myself and now I am confident that with my newfound capabilities of understanding myself and others better, I will become a better leader.

Dr. KALLURI RAM CHANDRA Professor & Head, Department of English

It is gratifying to state that Prof. Manish Singhal does not confine himself to the Dissemination of Knowledge but endeavours to make the participants Assimilate it. I am confident that my story of transformation is heading towards becoming an Academic Leader in the true sense of the term with the kind of support, guidance and encouragement being offered in the Transformational Leadership Programme of XLRI, Jamshedpur.

Veena Srihari Asst. General Manager - Head Application Development

This training program was an excellent experience for me personally. It has transformed my life as a person and as a professional. Sessions held by Manish Singhal were particularly exceptional. I would like to attribute the success of this program, much to how Prof. Manish was able to keep the attention of the team. The faculty made the lecture very interesting and interactive. The content taught was very relevant and up-to-date, as per new research, studies etc. His classes will be highly missed. Furthermore, there were great insights delivered from Prof. Kumar Alok on how Indian Culture / Vedas / Hindu Epics have contributed to "Leadership", as a subject. All-in-all, I thoroughly enjoyed all the lectures. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the professors, support staff, technical staff etc. for their contribution in making this program the success that it is.

Abhijeet Shivdas Chatterjee Segment Manager Transport & Construction equipment

The programme is good for self-development as a Manager and Leader from understanding the importance of Meditation and understand the inner world of self. Also the FIRO B exercise makes you understand your behaviour as regards to inclusion and control. Prof Manish Singhal is a master in the subject of self-development and gives a personal touch to the whole course. Also the actual dynamics of the corporate world and how as managers should deal with it and what tactics to be used is very good. Over all a very good course!

Priya Rajwade PRINCIPAL

I am glad I found this program and that I enrolled in it. It has been an enlightening journey into self and the nature of interactions with other human beings, be it at personal or professional level. The journey has been very rewarding and yet there remains so much to learn. The takeaways from the program will stay with me forever. It is a joy to attend Manish Sir's class, he is eloquent, vibrant and has a huge repository of experiences and life lessons to share, which he shares without holding back. I have already recommended the management to take this program for the other leadership members in the organization.

Rahul Koorichh Global Head - Strategic Alliances

This is easily one of the best programs I have attended. The reason is Prof Manish Singhal who made has carefully crafted topics, made them meaningful through relevant examples and articulated the messaging flawlessly. Professor's has not only forced us to think about the content but implement his teachings for our betterment. This course has enabled me not just to be a better professional but to be a better person.

img

Nutan Karawde Chief Manager (Finance)

At the outset, let me thank XLRi for crafting out such an extra-ordinary MDP and thanks to TalentEdge for smooth execution. TL3 stands out to be the best decision I have ever made for myself. Could have never thought of any program that would spend 4 to 4 1/2 months only on transforming self. And then slowly as we started self-discovery from July, it was an eye opener for me and almost MOST OF US in TL3 (I am sure the experience wouldn't be different for TL1, TL2 and the forthcoming TL batches as well). Had we not got into daily meditation, Self-compassion and acceptance, it would have been devastating (and I really mean this) to face a self-discovery through FIRO-B, other Leadership style assessments and learnings. The way it got integrated thereafter was just phenomenal and an experience that even today as I write this, I feel can't completely express what it has transpired into. Gratitude, Gratitude & Gratitude !!!! Overall a fulfilling experience @Transformational Leadership. Emotion meter: Inspired / Elated.

img

Sthiti Ranjan Sarangi Leader, Engineering (2nd line Manager)

This course help me to thinking differently on the topics which is important to leadership. Leadership is all about self discovery and what is real me. It was an eye opener for me to realize my self and then understand the fine details to transform myself as a better person. I recommend all individual or leaders with more than 15 yrs of experience to take this course and realize the importance of 'Real ME and WHO AM I?
