The first masterclass series for the Lancaster Executive MBA 2nd cohort explored the Leadership Practice and Responsibility module.
The EMBA module allows the student to explore ideas on leaders, leading and leadership. It is practically focused, developing political, decision making, and motivating skills. And it allows the student to critically explore and evaluate their own leadership practice.
The masterclass on “Leadership Practice and Responsibility” was delivered by Mr John Mawuli Ababio (Chairman of Phoenix Capital Advisors Ghana Ltd, and a subsidiary of Phoenix Capital Advisors SA (PCA) in Cote d’Ivoire).
It was a useful introduction, not only to the 2nd cohort students but also aspiring mindful managers as it allowed participants to gain substantial knowledge on leadership practices and also have a feel of how the Executive MBA programme is delivered.
