“A non-profit leader has to have the ability to deal with the tension of the two opposing poles of the rational, economic, legal solutions of the head and the social, ethical, emotional arguments of the heart. I am glad that this course provides a good coverage of both poles. It will help the non-profit leader to balance between them in formulating policies and determining solutions.”

I was involved in an iLEAP assignment which was actually implemented a few months later. It was amazing. Whatweworkedonwasalifeproject.This captures the feel of the entire iLEAP curriculum, as I made my weekly journey searching for the session location (a unique feature of this course), to hear from practitioners who willingly shared stories of how they transcend boundaries to stay true to vision. I was greatly inspired by the practical tips from cutting edge leaders in the social space who led each module. A unique course to enable us to break out of the mould and think out of the box.

CommUNIty PArtNersOur community partners provide both important actionable knowledge and access to their organisational resources to ensure a meaningful and enriching learning experience that would otherwise not be possible in a pure classroom setting.

The collaborative inputs provided by our partners range from providing the venue and the rare opportunity to visit their operations to functioning as a real life case study, enabling participants to translate conceptual knowledge into practical insights about effective non-profit management and strong leadership. On-site learning in the premises of the various community partners makes it possible for participants to really appreciate the key takeaways of the respective module and case study. Participants will get first-hand exposure to real non-profit issues and challenges as well as the opportunity to debate the “right” course of action to be taken and to evaluate non-profit management practices.

iLEAP course has a very refreshing approach to learning which is two-pronged:

a) The breadth is on the hands-on experience of the site visits to various NPOs to get a better understanding of how the challenges and issues are dealt.

b) The depth is the frank discussion on various topics which give learners valuable insights to approaching matters and the explanations provided by the facilitators and panelists are useful.

Overall iLEAP has provided a holistic approach to understanding the dynamics of NPOs.
