Designing a meaningful programme that creates real impact is a challenge especially within the context of
leadership with diverse variables. Extensive experience in working with different corporations and indepth industry interaction enables LUMS faculty to take a diagnostic view of the core challenges and
roadblocks confronting the relevant target cadre and create a programme that generates real value for
the organization.
Most programmes transcend across multiple directions involving intricate informational links based on
industry dynamics and market shifts. The theme for all programmes is derived from the competitive
setting of the organization in the industry and key factors necessary for gaining a specific advantage.
Clubbed with focus on executives personal learning as well as alignment with organizational objectives,
custom programmes achieve two-fold outcomes. Below is a typical flow of the leadership programmes
and themes covered in different programmes:

Programme models may differ in terms of module coverage based on the cadre of executives and
organizational need. Our programmes are designed to enable senior executives to identify and understand
their leadership style. The participants explore their leadership approach through real-life examples and
comparison with leadership role models. Immersed through experiential activities and simulations,
participants are sensitized to team motivational factors, importance of open communication, conflict
management and trust building. A step by step project is incorporated for developing a concrete personal
action plan for achieving the desired leadership outcomes.
Below are some of the custom projects developed by REDC in the specified area:

LUMS developed a programme for 100 executives spread over 7 residential days and delivered over 4
cohorts with 25 participants in each. Designed as a residential programme, the sessions ran late into
evenings and were enriched by hands on simulations and work on individual action plans. Over the first
set of 5 days at LUMS, participants explored:

A month later the participants reassembled at LUMS for another 2 days for 360 degree feedback facilitated
by LUMS faculty and in class discussion of the reports received. This was complemented by development
of individual action plan based on the feedback from 360 degree instrument.
To maximize the learning output, the faculty also coached 117 executives for incorporating the 360
degrees feedback in the organization and align the executives leadership style within the context of
organizational framework.

participants were sensitized to team motivational factors, importance of open communication, conflict
management and trust building. A step by step project was incorporated for developing a concrete
personal action plan for achieving the desired leadership outcomes.
