Program aims

The Master of Adaptive Leadership (MALP) is designed for middle to senior corporate managers and to equip graduates with superior knowledge, skills and abilities that help them to emerge as world-class leaders. Based on reflective thinking and problem solving, the program is a niche offering in leadership consisting of applied work intensive modules that include real-world projects and industry-relevant problems. The program will equip managers to build and connect teams, to drive innovation, and to build skills that help them lead across functional units. Importantly, it will enable graduates to learn the know-how and know-why skills of measuring and building employee engagement that lead to higher levels of organisational learning and firm performance in a world of constant disruption. With an emphasis on the application of leadership theory-to-practice nexus, the degree will enable students to develop a toolbox of leadership practices and a set of dynamic capabilities in adaptive leadership.
