Insight on Global Citizen Leader Program By Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director-
Welingkar
Welingkar has taken the responsibility to mentor Global Citizen leaders who will be instrumental in bringing about change by boosting economic growth and creating positive societal impact, Dr Uday Salunkhe shares his insight on mentoring the Global Citizen Leader.
Indian leaders who drive high performance organizations like Infosys, Reliance Industries, TATA have time and again stated that their companies have succeeded not because of their own expertise at strategy or because of the efforts and skills of their respective senior teams be it through organic growth and/or superbly executed mergers & acquisitions and/or turn around deals. Almost without exception, they have opined that their source of competitive advantage was to be found deep inside their companies, in their people.
Great institution builders are conscious of the fact that the leader alone does not make an institution; it is the innovative contribution of the intellectual pool within the organization that makes the leadership. This consciousness comes only from understanding of the self, ones strengths and weaknesses, through collaborative skills and with a burning desire to bring about a change in self, workplace and society. Leadership

education is therefore, not training; it is experiential learning in unclear situations when there are no clear-cut answers in sight.
An effective leadership, towards greatness, begins with a Vision, transformational in quality, charismatic & empathic in nature. Great leaders are also associated with leadership style with a soul, moral in character that emphasizes on ethical conduct.
Today, businesses need to review and debate whether they want a highly-structured autocratic organizational architecture - where a few direct and control the course or they need a vibrant organization where all team members are empowered to think and contribute. Democratization of leadership through empowerment is a natural and necessary development when teams grow large and diverse, and are spread across geo-political-cultural boundaries and time zones.
Global Citizen Leader (GCL) is a transformational programme
that equips students with tools to apply their talent and skills
in the real-world context while providing them with leadership,
innovation and inspiration to make a difference in society. This
unique program is designed by Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of
Management Development and Research, (WeSchool) in
collaboration with Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL). Young
MBAs from WeSchools fulltime PGDM programs namely,
Business Design, Retail, E-Biz, Healthcare and Rural

Management (Emerging Economies) underwent the GCL
program this year.
To conclude Dr Uday Salunkhe mentions: -
During GCL, students are thrown into a real life setting while
they still have the opportunity to fall back on the guidance of
the faculty and mentorship of industry veterans. The thought
behind the projects is to adopt a human-centric approach by
using design thinking that will also facilitate the mentoring of
future leaders that are self-motivated and industry ready. The
expertise of the CCL Team in leadership development space
worldwide has played a crucial role in successful completion of
these projects with such outstanding outcomes. This endeavour
has not only changed the lenses of our MBA students but also
tested their ability to accept failures and turn it into
opportunities for higher degrees of success for all the
stakeholders.
