RSM's Advanced Management and Leadership Programme is an intensive modular management programme that will sharpen your critical thinking skills and enhance your impact as a leader. Based on real issues, economic realities and global shifts and megatrends, AMLP will challenge the way you view yourself and the way your organisation operates.
You will take a step back from day-to-day tasks so that you can be equipped with new skills and capabilities to adapt, thrive and succeed. With 15-16 days of classroom experience spread over four innovative modules, your choice of an in-depth elective, and an impact project to put your learning in practice, this journey will enable you to dramatically enhance your leadership skills and impact.
What you’ll take away from this programme is much more than just a revitalised set of management skills and tools. It’s an comprehensive philosophy of positive, transformational leadership that you’ll carry for the rest of your career.
Discover our options for customised and in-company programmes tailor-made for your organisation.
The Advanced Management and Leadership Programme at RSM consists of four core modules and a challenging, yet rewarding impact project that must be completed within a year. These diverse learning methods combine to create an intellectually stimulating learning journey, and provide a set of tools that will help you develop the core elements of advanced leadership and management.
Alongside the core modules is a personal impact project to consolidate what you learn by addressing a challenge or opportunity in your organisation. You’ll be mentored by our expert faculty. Choose your final elective to suit your current situation or development goals.
Learn how to bring out the best in yourself and others using a relationship-centric leadership approach. You will focus on the core skills you need to engage others, resolve apparently intractable dilemmas, create rapid change and unlock the collective intelligence within your organisation.
You learn specific tools to improve your ability to make clear choices and informed decisions. You will learn how to choose, prioritise and implement business strategies so they become action plans for teams and individuals. By thinking more strategically you will better assess your organisation’s capabilities and develop its competitive advantages.
Know what your business is worth and why. Learn to truly understand not only the crucial financial information within your business but also the implications of the decisions you must make. You will upgrade your understanding of finance issues which will enable you to set the right objectives at strategic levels and to create smart incentives that will deliver desired results.
This programme on leading and managing change will bring you hands-on knowledge about the complexity and messiness of change, and how to lead it effectively. You will learn you how to manage uncertainty and to make it easier for your staff to adapt to change.
*Your application will be final once we have informed you on the basis of the intake call that your application has been accepted. If you have only some experience, or are new to managing teams, we advise you to look at our Diploma Programme in General Management instead.
A team of RSM’s expert faculty teach the Advanced Management and Leadership Programme; they are listed below and you will usually take classes with at least two of them, depending on which modules you choose. Occasionally we may substitute other faculty members according to the content of the programme and their availability.
