INTRODUCTION
This is a unique program on leadership and is based on principles of Action Centred Leadership of John Adair. After graduating from Cambridge University, he became a senior lecturer in military history and adviser in leadership training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. In 1979 he was appointed the world’s first Professor of Leadership Studies at the University of Surrey. Since 2006, he has been Honorary Professor of Leadership at the China Executive Leadership Academy. In 2009, John was appointed Chair of Leadership Studies United Nations System Staff College in Turin. He wrote about 40 books mostly on leadership.
The underlying principle is that by taking right actions one becomes effective leader. Instead of trying to find out what kind of a person one is, or what kind of a person one should be to be an effective leader, the focus is on what a leader needs to do. By identifying such behaviour or actions and doing them consistently, one becomes a successful leader.
