Throughout this 8 - to 12-month journey, participants will be engaged in:

Flagship Programmes
Masterclasses
Conversations with leaders
Coaching Sessions
Leadership Assessments
... and more

This is more than a personal journey, it’s an adventure that you’re embarking on with peers and mentors at NTU. You will develop new levels of teamwork, leadership capabilities, communication and coaching skills, and much more.

You will grow into a leader who inspires action, drives innovation and leads exceptional initiatives.

As a shortlisted Lead@NTU participant, you have the opportunity to engage in one of three leadership-focused programmes, depending on your current role. 

Lead 1:

Growth for emerging leaders

Take your career in an empowering new direction with Lead1. Develop the fundamental skills, insights and agility you need to transition from an excellent individual contributor and subject matter expert, into an influential leader. Here, you will begin shifting the focus of your work from “yourself” to “others” – learning how to depend on others, and having others count on you. 

Overall Lead 1 Journey

Lead 2:

Pathways for developing leaders

Step up to the next level, when you develop leadership skills that give you the capabilities to confidently and effectively lead units within larger departments. In Lead2, your focus will shift from “unit” to “university” – and you will become an expert at building a culture of excellence within your team.
