“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”

John F. Kennedy

Every successful business leader knows that, in order to become an effective mentor, a creative problem solver, a skilled negotiator and a reliable decision-maker, it is essential first of all to have an open mind and the ability to listen. The qualities that make a good leader do not appear by magic; what you pass on to others has to be fully absorbed and assimilated first.

The IN Business Executive Leadership Course will help you broaden your business skills and develop a critical awareness of yourself, your management style and the impact you have on others, thereby ensuring that you have the necessary knowledge and ability to lead and motivate others to excel and achieve maximum results for your company or organisation.

Executive leadership begins with cultivating the right mindset. When we are seeking to become the best, we need to learn from those who are considered the best. The acclaimed trainers who will teach this prestigious course and, at the same time, share their own experience and knowledge, are without any doubt among the very best in their field.

Success does not come down to one individual and the most effective leaders are not being falsely modest when they say that they owe everything to their teams. But being able to manage and inspire each individual member of a team does not come naturally to everyone. You may have reached your present level or position thanks to your unique, special character but you can always learn more and become even more successful. Ultimately, the best leaders define what happens next in their companies and organisations and, in order to do this, they need to have an all-encompassing view of the business, its vision and mission, and the people working in it.

Corporate Governance, Strategic Marketing, Strategic Management, Organisational Change & Human Resources Management, and Leadership: Powering Quality Growth. These are key areas of knowledge for any executive leader, which is precisely why they have been selected as the five modules of the IN Business Executive Leadership Course.

Executive Leadership Course

Raghavendra Rau 15 & 16 January 2016, 09:00-16:00, Amathus Beach Hotel, Limassol

In the last few years, an increasing number of scandals (options backdating, insider trading, LIBOR rate setting, and excessive pay for no apparent performance) have dominated the financial press. This has led to an increase in demand for stringent rules to bind executives, including caps on pay, clawbacks and fines, and an increased emphasis on ethical standards, including requesting bankers to sign an oath.

The purpose of this course is to provide an analytical framework based on contracting theory and asymmetric information to think about corporate governance and business ethics. This approach differs from defining ethical behaviour as complying with a number of subjective definitions of what is “good” or “bad”.

The contractual approach argues that a firm should be considered as a nexus of contracts between various stakeholders. Conflicts between stakeholders can be controlled to some extent by explicit contracts, e.g. incentive pay to reduce conflicts between managers and shareholders. However, explicit contracts cannot be written for each potential conflict of interest. This creates a need for respecting implicit contracts, which we will define as business ethics. So corporate governance, in a broad sense involves specifying the balance between explicit as well as implicit contracts in a firm. We will illustrate this novel way of thinking about ethics with case studies where board members, bankers and other financial service providers have to think about what implicit and explicit contracts govern the relations with the various stakeholders.

High performing, world class leaders are fundamental to the success of any enterprise. Yet, my research shows that leaders of such high quality remain elusive. Too many senior managers have not developed the necessary capabilities to ensure for their own and their organisations sustained success.

This workshop examines the capabilities necessary for realising high performance leadership. Attention is given to the critical capabilities that make for outstanding leaders. Designing the organisation for value delivery overseen by effective governance through vigilant Boards is given distinct attention. In effect, how to engage and win credibility with contrasting stakeholders is a central theme of this workshop. The workshop will conclude by providing each individual feedback on their capabilities and the steps to take to develop further as a high performer.

Workshop Purpose• To better understand the challenges and pitfalls facing senior leaders.• To better understand the nature of strategy execution. • To facilitate the development of capabilities necessary for high performance leadership.• To facilitate how to effectively engage with critical stakeholders pursuing contrasting agendas.• To be able to align the interests of the Board and the Top Team. • To better understand how to develop as a high performing leader.

Becoming a World class Leader

• Ziton case continued• Executive Capability Profiling - The Executive Profiling instrument (completed prior to attendance of the Workshop)

Governance Leadership

• Capturing learning from Day One.• Introduction to Day Two - The importance of Governance and Boards is emphasized, highlighting the criticality for high performing Boards as the means to attain high performing organisations.• Boards and Governance - The Highland Plc Case is used to explore the nature of Governance, the shape and

nature of high performing Boards and the challenges Board Directors face in ensuring for effective governance. The programme participants will be placed in teams. Each team will present their findings and receive feedback on their presentation and quality of thinking.

• Engaging with Stakeholders - Integrating conflicting agendas. The Kilmann Questionnaire will highlight each programme participant’s capacity to effectively handle key and sensitive relationships, especially on how to surface challenging conversations whilst engaging with critical stakeholders. Feedback will be offered to individuals and teams. Learning will be drawn from the Executive Profiling instrument.

• Managing burnout - Research shows that burnout is becoming an increasingly debilitating experience for many executives. The Kerry Schwartz Case examines the nature of burnout and how to address this condition. The programme participants will be placed in teams and will present their findings for plenary discussion.

The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (CIM)The Cyprus Institute of Marketing (CIM) was founded in September 1978 and operates in Nicosia and Limassol.

When, in 1978, CIM pioneered by offering Management and Marketing Degrees in Cyprus, most companies had not yet recognised the importance of marketing and management in business activity; that corporations have now acknowledged the prominence of the sciences of marketing and of management is a testament to the immense impact CIM has had on business activity in Cyprus. Since then, CIM has expanded into areas beyond Management and Marketing, offering Diplomas and Degrees in Banking, Insurance, Finance, Shipping, European Studies, Financial & Computer Studies and an MBA.
