5 ways a Development Leadership & Management course can teach you more than business

Development Leadership & Management is the beginning of making conscious, responsible and professional leaders who aim to bring change in the society.
This may sound like science fiction, but worldwide scientists have declared that we are at the edge of the Sixth Mass Extinction (a massive die-off of all life forms across the planet). There have been five others since the beginning of our planet, but this one is different as the credit goes to us. Be it dumping of plastic in oceans or massive concrete infrastructure or the nuclear bomb tests; the human impact in the name of development need to be blamed.
Since the Industrial Revolution, this so-called 'Development' has been misguided by different practices of numerous 'Management' principles.
Till date, the majority of us haven't cared too much about this sort of thing. Yet bringing about a change in how the modern world looks at 'Development' and the new approach to 'Manage' it can help the planet in conserving and reshaping the limited resources that Earth is left with.
Kate Raworth, eminent economist and author of famous Doughnut Economics has strengthened this thought in her book by raising the need for a far bigger goal (meeting the human rights of every person within the means of our life-giving planet) beyond GDP or national output as the primary measure of progress in the 21st century.
