Leadership today is not taught.
It is experienced.
Business education has mastered analytical rigour. What’s missing is
leadership readiness.
The expected competencies cannot be fully developed through lectures, cases, or exams alone.
Performing arts provide a powerful experiential pathway, allowing future leaders to practice leadership in real-time within a structured, academically aligned environment.
This course transforms the classroom into a Leadership Studio, where leadership is lived, not memorised.
Modern managers are expected to demonstrate:
Executive presence
Emotional intelligence
Clear and persuasive communication
Team alignment
Creativity under pressure
Adaptability in uncertainty
