Ever wondered what’s the difference between a Boss and a Leader?

A boss creates fear, a leader inspires confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting!

Simple though it may sound, a leader’s experience and management style is the key to taking the organisation to its next level of success. Centum Learning conducted a Situational Leadership programme for the top management of Bharti Foundation.

Over 17 members of the leadership team underwent the programme with a clear objective – leading to succeed. The programme enabled participants to understand the impact of leaders’ and customers’ enthusiasm on team members, learn more about personal leadership styles, recognize and underst and situational and transitional leadership, make the link between leadership skills and decision making. Besides, the programme emphasized on coaching skills for gaining workforce commitment to further increase the probability of success.
