The Emerging Leader Program follows a learner-centered, experiential approach designed to build foundational leadership capabilities in front-line managers. The curriculum blends theory and practice through interactive classroom facilitation, personal reflection, group dialogue, and peer learning. Core concepts such as leadership mindset, self-awareness, communication, trust, and influence are explored using real-world scenarios and workplace-relevant discussions. Participants engage in immersive activities, including a digital simulation (HydroLaos), to apply leadership concepts in a realistic, yet risk-free environment. The program also incorporates validated psychometric assessments like the FIRO-B and Influence Style Indicator to deepen self-awareness and individual insight. To reinforce application, the program includes 1:1 coaching sessions that support goal setting, action planning, and mentor engagement. This structured yet flexible approach encourages personal ownership, behavioral change, and ongoing leadership development within the workplace.
