Notes from an alumni

This is Eddie here, and I attended the 09/10 edition of Leadership through the Ages (what we simply call, Leadership Programme (LP))- that has become UHB 2206: Leadership in a Complex World.

The edition of LP that I attended ended sometime in April 2010, and it's been about four months now. I've been rather surprised by how the themes from the course has stuck with me. I went on to use the themes from the LP for interviews for a summer programme, with some success (I made it to the programme eventually).

The course has also provided me with more intangible assets - such as the ability to realise that policy debates are often debates between choices of different value systems. The LP has also given me a 'language' on how to frame complex issues, reformulating them in simple (but not simplistic) terms.

As a friend said, the LP is a chance for you to see the world through a different lens, albeit a powerful one.

Have fun!
