EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Why

Purpose
Myanmar is a growing economy attracting lots of foreign investments. It is easy to give the leadership away to
foreigners with better education and leadership experience. However great local leaders are needed in masses
in the country’s developing economy scene. Foreign investors need cultural guidance and competent local
managers to create a sustainable business. Knowing your assets and confidently sharing your knowledge is

than just a boss. They inspire action, hold a vision for their company and are a real example to other
employees. This training is designed for those who want to discover and develop their leadership potential,
find their voice and contribute to their company’s success. It is also a great experience and a chance for expat
leaders to learn from Myanmar people and effectively manage in Myanmar.

How

Methodology
This is mainly a classroom-based course similar to MBA studies format. Topics will be covered through case
studies that encourage participants to do 90 percent of the talking during the discussions and workshops. The
Trainer steers the conversation by making occasional observations, asking questions and summarizing. The
conclusions and decisions are made by the participants.

The Trainer will aim to keep the course material interactive and varied. In order to cater to a variety of learners,
lectures using video, print visuals, audio, case studies and culminating with group work will be employed along
with workshops. Participants will bring into class "real-world" examples from their own mail, work, reading, or
meeting discussions. They will solve each a management and leadership case by researching real life success
stories and presenting possible findings to the classroom.

Lectures are reduced to the minimum (30% of the time). Participants need to read the given materials before
each session, research the topics and prepare assignments at home. The participants need to take an active
part in all activities in order to receive the CCI certificate.

Progress requires intense and prolonged practice. Therefore this training is designed as an inspiring laboratory
allowing participants to practice leadership and management skills in the classroom, apply what they’ve
learned immediately to their real challenges at work and share the outcomes with the classroom and later with
their team.

The main goals of the training program are to equip participants with key leadership skills and strategies to create successful organizations. Participants will rehearse management basics like motivating different personality types, planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling. They will learn how to develop their teams and lead effectively even during crises. People will also have the opportunity to practice these skills in a classroom setting, applying them to real work challenges and sharing the outcomes with others .

The training methodology supports skill development by employing a classroom-based approach similar to an MBA format, focusing heavily on participant interaction. Case studies and workshops encourage participants to engage in discussions, do the majority of speaking, and make conclusions. The Trainer guides the conversation with questions and summaries. The course includes various learning formats like videos, case studies, and group work to cater to different learning styles. Participants also bring 'real-world' examples from their experience to enhance the learning process .

The program is culturally adaptive by including components where foreign managers learn from Myanmar counterparts about cultural leadership expectations and how to manage effectively in Myanmar. It emphasizes cultural sensitivity to create a safe and cooperative working environment. Cross-cultural differences in management are addressed through workshops and discussions, allowing foreign managers to assimilate into local workplace culture while applying learned strategies .

Prolonged practice is emphasized because it allows participants to internalize the skills and strategies they learn, transforming theoretical knowledge into habitual leadership behaviors. Continuous practice supports skill refinement, cultivates confidence, and aids in overcoming real-world challenges more effectively. By engaging in sustained practice, participants can experiment with different leadership approaches, receive feedback, and make adjustments, ultimately leading to more impactful and adaptive leadership .

Understanding cross-cultural management is critical in international business as it helps managers navigate cultural differences, fostering a more inclusive and cooperative workplace. It enhances communication and coordination among diverse teams, boosts morale and productivity, and helps mitigate conflicts arising from cultural misunderstandings. This understanding enables managers to implement culturally sensitive practices, thereby creating a harmonious work environment that leverages diverse perspectives for better problem-solving and innovation .

The program outlines key components such as designing organizational structures, staffing, personnel policies, and employee performance management. These components are discussed in lectures and workshops to help participants understand how to effectively manage teams and organizations. Attention is given to project management and problem-solving methods in various organizational contexts, emphasizing strategic supervision and leadership at different managerial levels .

Small group discussions contribute to the learning process by providing a platform for participants to articulate their thoughts, share personal experiences, and engage with different perspectives. They allow for in-depth exploration of case studies and facilitate problem-solving, enabling participants to develop critical thinking and decision-making skills in a collaborative setting. This interactive format helps reinforce learning by making concepts and strategies more relatable and applicable to real-world scenarios .

The course offers personal development opportunities by allowing participants to discover their leadership potential and learn about different management styles. It serves as a foundational leadership experience in a safe environment, encouraging participants to network, practice their skills, and acquire cultural insights. Aspiring leaders can learn essential skills such as decision-making, communication, and flexibility while participating in workshops on becoming an inspiring leader .

The program ensures skill application by designing its curriculum as a practice-oriented laboratory. Participants are required to actively engage in classroom activities that mirror real-life challenges, use real-world examples from their own professional experience, and conduct case studies that involve problem-solving. They are encouraged to apply new skills immediately to their workplace challenges and share the results with their peers, facilitating continuous learning and practical application .

The training emphasizes finding one's 'why' because understanding personal motivations and inspirations is fundamental to becoming an inspiring leader. The concept of starting with 'why' helps leaders clarify their purpose, which in turn drives effective action and decision-making. This focus helps leaders inspire those around them by aligning their actions with a profound understanding of their motivations, contributing to creating a vision others can connect with .
