A Five-Day Residential Programme at MICA [/b]
‘Communicating Global Leadership’[/b]
by Dr. Nagesh Rao, Director -MICA[/b]
Ahmedabad: October 22
Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA) has announced a five-day MDP on ‘Communicating Global Leadership’ by Dr. Nagesh Rao, Director, MICA.
Scheduled from 3rd December to 7th December, this five-day programme will sensitise senior and top management professionals, already in leadership positions or soon to take up global leadership roles, to subtle nuances of cross-cultural communication and make them ready to provide leadership in today’s globalised world. The MDP will equip participants with tools, techniques and skills to be ready to lead their organisations with a global mindset.
The programme will use a well-known, reliable and valid survey to assess the current level of global competency, identifying participant’s strengths in global leadership and highlight areas of further improvement.
While exploring the breadth and depth of communicating global leadership, the five-day programme will enable the participants to recognise the importance of understanding one’s own cultural values in interacting with others; explore culture-general principles that can help them in communicating effectively across cultures; introduce the importance of learning how to deal with professional and personal barriers in intercultural contexts; and focus on how to communicate like a global leader. The programme will also deliberate on similarities that act as bridges across cultures and differences that pose challenges, which can also act as opportunities for learning and growth.
The MDP will be led by Dr. Nagesh Rao, currently Professor and Director of Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad (MICA), with scholarly and applied interests in global leadership, intercultural communication competence and health communication,
