Managing the "Self" in Organisations: Towards Personal Transformation and Growth

This programme is designed on the premise that an understanding of the Self will lead to a more effective management of oneself and one's interaction in the various roles one may take up in Organizations and other settings.In addition to a discussion of various frameworks through which participants can examine themselves, the programme also offers opportunities to examine and clarify one's styles, needs, and assumptions through participation in experiential exercises, case discussions, role plays, and administration of psychometric questionnaires. These exercises offer participants a scope to gain insights into themselves and to give and receive feedback from fellow participants.Along with exploring intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics, the programme also helps participants understand the ways to manage disruptive behaviours that could adversely affect their personal effectiveness, team membership, and growth into leadership positions.Participant TestimonialsThe programme is designed very holistically, with brilliant faculty and terrific course design.
