NUS HRLP 2 – Leading and Inspiring Younger Colleagues

According to Professor Harry Kraemer, Clinical Professor of Strategy at Kellogg School of Management, “You have to be able to lead yourself before you can lead others.” This theory is what he refers to as values-based leadership, which is comprised of fundamental leadership principles. The course builds a foundation for developing values-based leaders by gaining a perspective towards the principles of values-based leadership. The course emphasizes upon developing a high performance organizational culture and the role of human resources. According to an article by whatishumanresources, Mentoring is the Employee training system under which a senior or more experienced person (the mentor) is assigned to act as an advisor, counselor, or guide to a junior or trainee. This course focuses on the fundamentals concepts of mentoring and reverse mentoring and provides a detailed understanding of the best practices to develop the successful mentorship and reverse mentorship programs.
