Inaugural SML held with Nyenrode Business Universiteit in the Netherlands
At the very end of October the first Self Managing Leadership®
programme to be held in partnership with leading Dutch business
school Nyenrode
Business Universiteit was held on their beautiful campus
at Breukelen near Amsterdam.
The programme brought together a number of senior business
people and representatives of NGOs from the Netherlands and beyond
who wanted to follow one of the world's most successful leadership
development courses, a course which addresses personal as well as
professional aspects of leadership vision, values and purpose.
I believe that each individual in the group will
leave this course not only with a clear understanding of what they
need to do - but also a path and resources to do it. I know I
do!

All the participants rated the programme extremely highly.
Out of a maximum of 5, the programme in general was given a
score of 4.7. When asked how relevant the experience had
been to their roles as leaders within their own organisations,
delegates accorded the programme an average of 4.63.
Lizette Cohen, Programme Manager at Nyenrode,
was delighted with the outcome:
A clear programme, a great opportunity for sharing
with other participants. Very respectful and supportive
facilitators.
Ralph Wildeman, Director of Compensation and
Benefits at global paints giant Akzo Nobel summed up his
experience powerfully and succinctly:
This is what the world needs!
This session of the SML™ was facilitated by Oxford Leadership
Academy Fellows Heiko
Hutmacher and Lasse
Wrennmark. As Lasse remarked on
OLA's Facebook page the day after his return to Sweden:
Back home after an SML at Nyenrode University in
Holland. Fantastic group and a great teamwork together with Heiko
and Lizette at the university.
This inaugural session promises well for future joint
programmes run by OLA and Nyenrode.
