Honing hard skills and soft skills development
The mission of the Alleem Executive Education Programs is to build leadership skills and enhance the capacity of individuals and organizations to address local and global challenges.
I believe in the adage “Leaders are made; not only born.” And it is critical to invest in the next generation of leaders in order to sustain competitive advantage and to achieve higher levels of corporate growth. The next generation of leaders need to be developed with advanced decision-making and execution skills in order to be relevant in the globally competitive scenario.
The Alleem Executive Education Programs include several hard skill development programs that help employees emerge with a fresh approach to sustainable development and inclusive growth; strategic planning for managing successful projects; marketing management and branding; and sustainable idea management. Executives without a financial education background can also gain expertise in the areas of finance and accounting.
While technical skills and know-how may help you gain entry into an organization, it is the people-oriented skills that will help you climb the corporate ladder. Business organizations are increasingly focusing on people with good soft skills. Companies are looking for people with good work ethics, a great attitude, excellent communication skills, and high emotional intelligence in order to foster great team performance and thereby to contribute strongly to the organization’s vision and strategy.
The Soft Skills Development Programs initiated by the Alleem Executive Education Programs help not only to work on developing these essential skills within, but also to encourage their development throughout the organization. Some of the key areas of focus include personal accountability, interpersonal negotiation skills, conflict resolution, creative thinking, and clarity of communication, amongst others.
