Building leadership strength of growing social enterprises
Solving a complex social problem mostly demands passionate leadership & capable organisations. However, there is a visible gap of management capacity at most organizations with a social mission. Leadership at NGOs and social enterprises are often constrained by a lack of experienced executives who can support organizational growth. Moreover, there is a dearth of programs that support the professional development of key executives of growing organizations. This often leads to stretched leadership that struggles with managing organizational growth.
GYAN+, an initiative of iVolunteer & supported by Singapore International Foundation – is an Organization Management and Leadership development program that aims to strengthen the management capacity of growing development organisations by through training and mentoring focused on the key executives of such organisations. Given the time constraints that the executives already face, the program is structured with a short contact training followed up with ongoing mentoring support.
GYAN+ has seen 2 editions in India in partnership with Singapore International Foundation- each with more then 25 participants getting trained on different aspects of leadership development and organisation management.

Madhukar Kumar is a leadership coach and facilitator. His forte lies in his ability to simplify leadership for organisations and help individuals to become more aware leaders. This self-awareness enhances the effectiveness of the leadership team and thus better prepares the organization to successfully achieve its next goal. He draws from his own journey through a diverse career and progressive self-awareness. He started his professional life in IT. Later, he took a leap of faith and joined social sector to manage a youth leadership programme. Recognizing that he had not explored himself enough, he took a gap year to travel within, in search of spirituality and his purpose. This gave him the clarity he was looking for – that he wanted to help people in achieving their dreams. He co-founded a consulting firm focusing on people side of business and helped forward-looking clients become those organizations that people aspire to be a part of. He worked with founders and business leaders and heard first-hand about the leadership teams not delivering to their ‘true potential’. This insight, and a good understanding of leadership and coaching, encouraged him to focus on leadership development and coaching the leaders. He believes in the philosophy of ‘Know Thyself’, better executed via a three-pronged approach of – introspection, meditation, and group-reflection. Academically, he holds an engineering degree from NIT Surathkal and an MBA from IIM Calcutta. He is a certified NLP Practitioner and an ICF certified Coach. |
