Background:

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are grappling with unprecedented challenges and opportunities brought about by recent contemporary trends. From technological advancements to shifting consumer behaviors and global disruptions, the modern business environment demands a new approach to leadership and management.

Organizations require leaders who can anticipate change, inspire innovation, and drive sustainable growth while fostering an inclusive and resilient organizational culture.
