The nature of business is dynamic and ever-changing. Effective leadership is the key to helping an organization cope with internal and external change. Good leaders help an organization proactively seek change, and then lead them in adapting and assimilating the change into the company’s processes, helping the company evolve and grow. Successful companies are often associated with strong and effective leaders who leave an imprint long after they leave the company.

Leading is different from managing, in that leadership had more to do with a person’s inherent personality traits, while management is more closely related to a set of behavior patterns in a specific situation. Leadership is perceived as more inspiring than management. But in actual fact, both the functions are essential, distinctive, and complementary. If they fail to complement one another in practice, the result is chaos or stagnation.

The PG Diploma Program in Leadership and Change Management aims to impart theoretic and practical knowledge of the inspiring concepts of leadership and change management.
