361° Edge introduces leadership development program

361° Edge, launched its latest leadership development program recently for a group of 22 senior personnel from DMS Electronics (DMSE).

Master chef's at work - preparing for the BBQ - A fresh approach to leadership training.

This program titled 'Drive', produces good leaders by developing interpersonal and business leadership skills by having participants identify and resolve real problems within their organisation.

"Becoming a good leader is analogous to becoming a good driver because knowledge is useless without real world practise. While training programs are a great way to boost energy and morale of people, the long-term results from leadership training are usually not as impressive," Sifaan Zavahir said. He led the program for DMSE.

"We often find that people get overloaded with information and end up so confused that they hardly implement anything."

"With 'Drive', the goal is that the foundation we provide is just the beginning and it is mandatory to go to work and practise everyday. They will be provided with the support and resources as and when they need it," he said.

Chief Visionary Officer of 361° Edge, Rukmal de Silva said, "We just launched 'Drive' and DMSE is the first company to try it and the feedback has been extremely positive."
