MDP (Management Development Program)
Theme of Advaits management development programs revolve around employee as an individual. We believe that recognition of employee as an individual not only resolves common organization problems but also unleashes true potential of employees.

Modern organizations function by orienting the energies of their employees in the direction of the organizational goal. This orientation may inadvertently cause the employee to compromise on her natural inclinations and aspirations. This becomes a source of conflict within the employee. Leadership development naturally becomes an arduous task in this situation.

Organizations need to understand that the Employee, the Manager and the People at the Core-player is first and foremost an Individual. Without self-awareness, even the most brilliant individual will be like a fast plane without radar to guide her. This self-awareness, when put in perspective in the context of the workplace, can do wonders by unlocking the inherent energy of the individual. Clearer understanding of the works consonance with ones life objectives and can help people nurture their individuality as well as draw more satisfaction out of their work.

Pedagogy
Our management development programs draws upon stories, excerpts from classics, movies, role plays, discussions and free-flow sessions. Literature is the bedrock of methodology in the programs conducted by Advait.

Literature, Human Nature and Leadership: Literature is an interpretation of human and social nature by the writer. Literature addresses the perennial questions of meaning, purpose, vision, values and existence. Great pieces of literature present the complexity of human relations, to enable the reader to interpret and come to his or her own conclusions. Its this interpretation that is the key to personal growth.

So how does the study of literature help in preparing for this role as leaders? It helps the readers learn to interpret life of themselves, of others. A serious study of great works of literature broadens ones viewpoint and helps in self development. It helps in attaining greater breadth and capacity to respect others opinions, and ability to put things in perspective and see a holistic picture. It also helps in attaining the versatility that allows one to switch from one subject to another and deal concurrently with many subjects. And finally, it gives greater ability to perceive, conceptually interpret and judge.

The ability to see the common thread linking all human endeavors and emotions, and the ability to keep in mind the bigger picture, the perspective, are closely linked. Literature helps build this holistic perspective by bringing in the simple yet eternally powerful techniques of story-telling and dramatization. Human beings have a great flair for stories. A story is the most basic and most effective way of weaving together different aspects of activity, thought and existence. The whole world exists but as a story inside the human psyche.
