TU Dublin’s Graduate Business School: equipping leaders for success
Dr. Colin Hughes, head of TU Dublin’s Graduate Business School discusses the changing face of leadership education and how they work with partners to develop leadership capability within organisations in the Irish Times this week and discusses the integral role of the Enterprise Academy.
"Many leaders are simply unsuited or underprepared for the challenge. Given the pace of modern work, people are often fast-tracked from technical roles into people leadership roles, and they soon find out that a completely different skill set is required. That is where education can prove vital," said Dr. Hughes.
"We design and tailor programmes for leaders at all levels, from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. In the past year we have designed impactful leadership programmes for various partners, including Workday, Version 1, and Sky." said Dr Hughes. TU Dublin’s partnership office and our HEA Human Capital Initiative-funded Enterprise Academy engage with employers to gain an understanding of their unique needs. Their insights are invaluable to us as we partner to design both intradisciplinary and multidisciplinary programmes.
