How IIM Lucknow’s Senior Leadership Programme can help you become an effective leader and drive business success

The need for leadership development has now been realised more than ever. In the present ever-changing dynamic corporate world, organisational abilities and leadership skills are needed, which are different from the past. Now senior personnel are expected to make consequential decisions that align with corporate strategy and culture. A lot rides on the leaders of companies.

This shift in the modern-day business dynamic has transformed the way leaders negotiate and manoeuvre through the world of work. The ever-evolving technological landscape, atypical company dynamics, navigating socio-cultural barriers with the nimbleness to form meaningful connections are just some factors that have changed the world of business. Now the need to build and develop effective leadership is a non-negotiable business imperative. And only the most adept leaders who answer the clarion call of excellence will be able to survive, adapt and thrive in the wake of this transforming corporate world.

While this transformation has occurred at breakneck speed, traditional education often leaves gaps wherein skills learnt don’t match with the requirement of the capabilities that need to be applied. And teaching cognitive skills does not necessarily mean that these individuals have the interpersonal abilities to network in collaborative organisations.


IIM Lucknow has taken cognizance of these gaps and launched the Senior Leadership Programme. It is designed for senior professionals who want to explore opportunities that require a strategic mindset. Business leaders and executives who want to leverage best management practices to grow their businesses and unlock their complete leadership potential will benefit from this programme.

The Senior Leadership Programme offers modular learning with topics including Data Analytics, Supply Chain and Operational Excellence, Strategic Marketing, Corporate Communication and Crisis Management, Business Economics, and Strategic Marketing. On completion, students will understand how to operate within a global context, manage teams, drive innovation, the power of digital transformation, get a sense of business finance, management of profit and loss accounts and so much more.

In the present day, academic institutions and their legacy are important. And when one joins this programme at IIM Lucknow, they also get the option to receive the status of the IIM Lucknow Executive Alumni (optional) on payment of a one-time registration fee of Rs 10,000+GST. Benefits of joining the alumni network include MDP Alumni status of the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, lifelong access to a network of distinguished IIM Lucknow Executive Alumni, onsite access to the campus library and 10% discount in fee for any additional programme (Open programme, Online) at IIM Lucknow (Lucknow and Noida campus).

Graduates with a minimum work experience of 7 years as of December 30, 2021, and presently working can apply for this programme. The programme begins on December 30, 2021.

In the present day, it is imperative for senior leadership professionals to polish their personal brand, and manage their business world that is moved by new technologies and broader social complexities. In this contemporary time, IIM Lucknow’s Senior Leadership Programme is an ideal choice to look beyond the ladder and leave a mark in the world of business.
