About us:

With the changing nature of work and workplace including digital disruption, one thing that remains unchanged is the concept of Leadership that is ever evolving to the various challenges posed by the corporate world. The impact of leaders and leadership on organisations and people remains unparalleled. The demand is high for someone who navigates the challenges of a dynamic world to lead an organisation successfully. Considering the demand today and the demand for leadership in the future business world, it is pertinent that today’s youngsters are potential leaders for tomorrow. Since leaders are required in every type of industry, it becomes imperative to include Leadership as part of academic curriculum. But beyond curriculum, a centre for Leadership Excellence at LIBA serves as a platform that aims to foster an environment where emerging models of leadership could be explored both from industry and research perspectives.

The Vision of the Centre is: To be a centre for excellence, focussing on the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of individuals within and outside LIBA, for organisations, and the society at large.
