21st Century Leaders
21st Century Leaders

YSC and Oxford University’s Saïd Business School have created a programme to support senior leaders in developing the vision and skills to thrive in the face of the unique business challenges ahead. The programme includes presentations by some of the world’s foremost thinkers on economic, social and environmental thinking.

A key feature of success will be the leader’s capacity to create meaning and drive deep engagement amongst employees; to grow organisations which are perceived by customers and employees alike to be making a significant and positive contribution to the world.

The programme integrates YSC’s strong track record of working globally with senior business leaders to address such challenges, with Saïd Business School’s insight into the latest business thinking and models.  In addition, the participation of the James Martin 21st Century School in Oxford and the latest thinking from the field of Positive Psychology, makes this programme unique and ground-breaking.

Programme Content

The programme will support participants in learning and applying the ideas, methods and skills necessary for them to achieve their potential in meeting the emerging risks and opportunities of the 21st Century. It will combine a world class learning environment and practical outcomes tailored to the strategic opportunities of their business.
