A vibrant industry, the Leadership Training and development market is in the need of rejuvenation as most of the leadership programs does not focus on the holistic development of a leader. It is mostly focused on subjects or topics, classroom learning, with some limited case studies and work out groups being provided for a simulated exposure. Addressing these gaps adequately by delivering unique Leadership Programs that are institutionalized and customized to the client's organization values, philosophy and culture, Liveware People helps them by creating a customized leadership development program to build the right leadership pipeline and address a future growth-oriented organization.

Our 3P approach, Professional, Personal and Physical (wellbeing) focuses on all three in an individual to become a successful leader. We specialize in this approach and it has given outstanding results to an individual. Our 1:1 coaching session during the 8-month training period is an effective way of reinforcing the learning, experiences and helping the participant to build their leadership thought process during the period," avers Mukund Menon.

Liveware People will position itself in building a global leadership program that helps organizations to `build' leadership talent from within as opposed to `bring' from out-side," concludes Mukund Menon.
