XLRI Postgraduate Certificate in Senior Leadership

Good leaders don’t just lead.

They inspire other leaders.

XLRI Jamshedpur

Senior Leadership Programme (XSLP)

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

– John Quincy Adams In an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something innovative. The true mark of a leader is the courage to take a bold course of action and see it through. Also, leaders instill in their people a hope for success and a belief in themselves. Positive leaders empower people to accomplish their goals. To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, leaders do not follow where the path may lead. Instead, they go where there is no path and leave a trail.

Programme Overview The Senior Leadership Programme designed by Xavier Institute of Management, Jamshedpur (XSLP), is a one-year immersive management education programme designed specifically for senior executives with at least 10 years of managerial experience. The programme is designed to equip participants skills related to effective communication of strategy, negotiation, abilities to influence team behaviour and manage team results.

The XSLP equips one with the critical skills to lead one’s organisation to success.
