HIGH POTENTIALS LEADERSHIP 2014 @ HKUST
Program Content and Preview
The program comprises of 3 compulsory modules with a total of 5 days of intensive classes over three
months.
Module 1
Decision Making and Leadership (2 Days)
28 - 29 August 2014 (Thu-Fri)
Prof. Bilian Sullivan
Quality decision leads the success of leaders and managers. This module is designed to help
participants to make better decisions in daily life and professional work. The module is organized
around an important distinction in decision making between normative and descriptive approaches.
While the normative approach concerns how people or executives should make decisions, the
descriptive approach concerns how people or executives actually do make decisions. Both approaches
are important for making sound decisions.
This module will help participants to be better decision-makers by providing participants with various
analytical tools to make reasonable good decisions by introducing the normative decision-making
approach and developing participants’ understanding of decision biases in real decision-making
situations by the descriptive decision-making approach.
Module 2
Effective Team Communications (1 Day)
12 September 2014 (Fri)
Ms. Paula Ho
It is essential for team leaders to provide feedback and engage team members in order to improve
team performance. This module will help participants to improve their communication skills when
understanding, influencing, engaging, and motivating their peers and subordinates.
Through lectures, personal assessment tool and interactive exercises, this module enhances
communication techniques to improve team efficiency, learn personal and others characteristics to help
embrace individual differences and discover the ways to work with people of different preferences and
improve commitment to enhance team performance.

Module 3
Leading Teams to Performance (2 Days)
23 - 24 Oct 2014 (Thu - Fri)
Prof. Mitya New
Organizations in today’s increasingly global and virtual world rely extensively on teams and collaboration
to active their objectives. Companies need both more senior leadership teams, who may be together for
several years, and strategic account or project teams, who may only work together for a few months,
to be successful. However, often teams do not seem to work. Many people feel they take up too much
time, cause conflict, add no value and are difficult to manage.
This module will focus on understanding and experiencing how teams operate and learning how to
transform and lead teams to deliver value and performance. Participants will understand the critical
importance of individual and team behavior, as well as of the appropriate team operating system to
achieve team effectiveness. It will include personality self-awareness, emotional intelligence, personal
conflict styles, how to achieve alignment, clarity and trust across teams and the value of inspirational
leadership.
The module will use facilitated and team discussion, experiential learning exercises, case studies, team
simulations and multi-media tools to help participants both experience the challenge of teams and
leadership as well as learn the solutions to overcome these challenges.
Program dates, content, choice of faculty and teaching sequences are subject to final adjustments and
modifications. Please visit program website for latest details.
