New Leadership
Human Intelligences
Our times call for a switch towards a more engaging model of leadership. This new leadership shall leverage all forms of human intelligences and skills: cognitive but also social, emotional, practical and technological.
Blending tradition for excellence and research-based innovation, FORWARD COLLEGE offers a holistic education designed for bright students who wish to bring about positive change.
Society and Businesses are evolving from hierarchical structures where leadership is about reaching positions of power into communities and networks where leadership is about engaging people for a shared purpose across areas of expertise, cultures, social backgrounds, and organisations.
This engagement-based leadership reflects the changing aspirations of younger generations who wish to make change happen here and now, of employees wanting to feel engaged rather than “managed”, of citizens who seek to participate more actively in decision-making processes.
Engagement-based leadership is relevant for business organisations that are increasingly decentralised, co-operative, and immersed in complex ecosystems. It is also more relevant for tackling highly complex challenges in areas including ecology, geo-politics, and economic inequality where top down approaches are proving ineffective.
Engagement-based leadership emphasises the central importance of human processes, requiring it to draw on the full range of Human Intelligences:
These intelligences are expressed in a variety of skills that are now regarded by recruiters as 21st century skills. These are the skills that are intentionally developed throughout our double programme:
Our 360° skills assessment tool will help students discover their profile and craft their skills development with the support of our faculty.
To foster a holistic development of Human Intelligences, Forward College builds on the foundations of traditional academic excellence developed by centuries-old academic institutions- e. g. Oxbridge Colleges and American colleges of liberal arts - combined with innovative approaches to teaching and learning.
By tradition of excellence we refer to :
FORWARD COLLEGE is setting up a sophisticated quality assurance system to ensure the highest standards in teaching, academic performance, personal fulfilment, and career development.
Our external Quality Assurance Committees oversee all aspects of our students’ experience (teaching & learning, student life, physical and mental health), as well as talent development and internal processes. They consist of high level academics and professionals :
The QA Committees will produce and publish an annual report to provide transparency to students, parents, alumni, recruiters, academic partners and the wider public. We believe transparency and accountability are the best ways to ensure the highest standards and deliver lasting change in the Higher Education sector.
