INSEAD Leadership Programme for Senior Indian Executives

V. Paddy Padmanabhan
Programme Director

"Programme Directors and past participants provide you with the insights on how INSEAD Leadership Programme for Senior Indian Executives (ILPSIE) can help senior Indian executives to become successful in their next level. "

As the last decade has shown, India’s long term growth prospects remain strong. While this rapid growth is a huge opportunity for Indian firms, it also presents many challenges. One key challenge is the relative dearth of skilled general managers who can provide the strong business leadership required to capitalize on growth opportunities.

The INSEAD Leadership Programme for Senior Indian Executives (ILPSIE) aims to address this scarcity of general management skills in fast growing companies. The programme has several learning components: week long immersions at INSEAD’s global campuses and in India, 360°assessments and coaching, in addition to ongoing personal development.

By developing an integrated approach to general management that combines the imagination and panache of entrepreneurs with the strong functional focus of operating managers, ILPSIE will prepare you for senior management roles and provide a timely boost for your career. Over the 12 months of ILPSIE, even as you pursue your current career, we enable you to learn from the best minds in business and from an outstanding peer group, and apply the new knowledge gained.

Key Benefits

Enhance the depth and breadth of fundamental business knowledge. More specifically, an in-depth understanding of individual functional domains as well as the linkages across functional domains that are critical to drive business performance.
Acquire and improve interpersonal skills such as networking, persuasion & influence, communication, negotiation and coaching skills that are essential for effective business leadership.
Heightened self-awareness of emotions, personal and business values and blind spots that together lead to development of your own idiosyncratic leadership style and ability to leverage it effectively for business success.

“The ILPSIE programme was an interesting smorgasbord of learning, application and experientially enjoying both - your profession and academic pursuits. As I pursued the program during 2011-12, I discussed with my employer for a role change that would give me practical exposure to elements in ILPSIE. I took responsibility of starting up a specific alliance business within my organization in APAC.

Today, after an year and two months, the business is spread across 6 countries with 50 people in various teams and a business with a potential of 40 Million USD."

“Varied backgrounds of fellow participants helped me to appreciate divergent ideas to resolve different management challenges.

A program like ILPSIE would transform you not just professionally but also personally. Your self-awareness quotient would go up.”

“The ride so far on the ILPSIE programme has been filled with fun and loads of learning. One of the objectives that I had explicitly outlined for self was to move to the next level in the next 12-18 months and the first step has been taken. I have been inducted to the global senior leadership team.

The feedback I have received is that my decision to choose ILPSIE has been well received by CEO and Chairman and I wanted to thank INSEAD for the effect that it already has on my career!”

“ILPSIE presented a perfect opportunity - I did not have to give up my job but it's intensive enough to feel like a full time course and a huge factor for me was that it's a course by INSEAD - a school I always wished I studied at.

Through the course, I have become far more conscious of what goes into making a good leader and I try to base my actions at work into achieving that gold standard. It's almost a feeling of preparing myself or setting the stage for my future success.”

“The faculty combined with the content was a wonderfully orchestrated combination that we should all thank INSEAD for putting together. I know that we are nearly thru 40% of the course, but definitely not the learning.”

“I feel ILPSIE has poised me to advancement and growth and its up to me to propel myself to get there. It has provided me structured inputs and opportunities to succeed. When you commit to this course come with an open mind to (un)learn and you will surprise yourself with what you take away!”

“I was looking for an institution with a global presence that could fine-tune my soft-skills while expanding my knowledge on all aspects of General Management. ILPSIE fell in that sweet-spot!

ILPSIE is not a pure academic exercise providing you intellectual nirvana! It is an engagement where the soft aspects of personality development and critical technical elements of general management are exposed to prepare mid-level managers to transform to leaders of tomorrow.”

“The Programme is continuously improving my self awareness. It is improving my functional as well as my leadership skills. As such, the perspectives and possibilities that I am able to see, in my day to day professional life, are making me more effective. The fact that I am yet less that half stage of the course makes me wonder that the overall impact would be a multiple of this.

There is about 750 + years of collective work experience in the class room from varied backgrounds and industries and to know each one's professional journey is invaluable. Above all there is the possibility that you will make few friends which will last your life.”
