Today everyone, particularly all levels of business leaders, has become increasingly conscious that an authentic leader is required to have not only the "hard" competencies such as capabilities to create a corporate vision and strategy, build operation system, implement strategy and run the operation effectively, but also other "soft" qualities.
Self-leadership is one of those powerful, soft qualities. This capability entails having an in-depth understanding of your own values, principles and motivations. From this understanding, leaders can strengthen their confidence and earn respect of their employees, clients, partners, and even competitors. The respect is not earned by mere lofty rhetoric or media messages, but through strong, specific, consistent actions based on righteous and progressive values, principles and motivations.
With the foundation of understanding and self-leadership as above, leaders can develop and guide their teams by communicating with empathy and compassion, and by establishing a working environment that promotes effective change, innovation and dynamic culture. This is the solid foundation required for sustainable growth of the organization, particularly in challenging times.
The current global financial crisis and the recession of Vietnam's economy have led to the collapse of many well-known companies. This strengthens the belief that only what creates true values endures such turbulent economic times. Authentic leaders today are required not only to lead others and their organizations, but also themselves. Their own self-leadership is their launch pad for creating the true values and momentum needed for sustaining success of their own, their teams and their organizations.
The PACE Leadership Development Program (LDP) is built upon the three core components: self-leadership, team leadership and organizational leadership. The program is offered in Vietnamese and is delivered by PACE trainers who are experts with in-depth academic knowledge and profound experience in their respective fields.
