Nurturing Future Leadership Program

Introduction

IIT Bombay, under the aegis of Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme (MMTTP), Ministry of Education is organising a faculty leadership development programme namely ‘Nurturing Future Leadership Program’.

This programme is a prestigious, selection-based leadership development programme which is open for all levels of faculty of public funded higher educational institutions.

Leadership development for faculty members will not only help prepare some of them for educational leadership roles, but also be of intrinsic benefit even to those faculty uninterested in assuming leadership roles, by helping them excel in their own research and teaching pursuits, and in enabling them to inculcate leadership skills amongst their students, bringing tangible and wide ranging benefits to the nation.

This need for trained and experienced institutional leaders is also outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The objectives of the programme are: 

• To build ecosystem to inculcate leadership skills in faculty members at levels early in their career to advance both individual and organizational goals 
• To be a broad-based leadership development programme (for all faculty across all levels) 
• To expand the pool of potential leaders for the range of leadership positions
• To prepare faculty to contribute effectively and proactively in collective decision-making, shared governance, developing initiatives, problem solving 
• Training the best faculty through a rigorous selection process 
• Enabling institute administration to assess leadership quality of their faculty through this program 

The programme is envisioned to make “Everyone a Leader” to be able to create an empowered workforce with an open and participative culture.
