This summer, UNITAR is delighted to launch its Executive Retreat on Strategic Leadership and Charisma. The retreat will aim to bring together participants from both the public and private sectors, to generate synergies and opportunities for learning and mutual engagement. Leadership skills are essential to building new and strategic, personal and professional development trajectories, and in times of change must therefore be prioritized by individuals and organizations alike. Taking place in Montreux, Switzerland, the retreat will offer participants the chance to step outside of their daily lives, and thus will provide an environment for creative and innovative thinking, and new and mindful learning. The luxurious and scenic environment will inspire the mind, whilst substantive sessions and social activities will create opportunities to engage in intellectual debate and orient new objectives, goals and priorities.
The retreat is designed to equip decision-makers with the skills, knowledge and abilities to take executive decisions by seizing critical opportunities for change. It will also develop effective leadership so as to shape organizations for tomorrow. Participants will become aware of the influence they can have on others, both intended and unintended, obtain insights into their personality and how it impacts their leadership style. They will learn to create a more powerful, positive and long-lasting impact within and outside their organization. The retreat draws on the latest leadership models and innovative interactive training methods that require a different approach to thinking about effective leadership. It will allow participants to recognize their own leadership strength, to build on this expertise and to develop their capacities to increase those leadership skills in an effective and broad-based manner.
