^{Perdana Leadership Foundation, in collaboration with INSEAD Executive Education, presents the Senior Leaders Development Programme, a leadership retreat for senior leaders, to be held from 19th to 21st August 2025 at The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.}

PUTRAJAYA, June 20 (Bernama) -- In a world of constant disruption where leadership accountability has never been higher, the Perdana Leadership Foundation and globally-acclaimed INSEAD Executive Education announce the Senior Leaders Development Programme. This exclusive leadership retreat, held from 19-21 August 2025, is designed to move beyond traditional executive training and equip leaders with "Wise Power"—a new paradigm of thinking that combines mind, heart, and soul.

Hosted at the luxurious, French-inspired sanctuary of The Chateau Spa & Wellness Resort, Bukit Tinggi, the programme offers an intimate cohort of 25-30 CEOs, C-suite executives, senior public sector leaders, and business owners a rare opportunity to step away from daily demands and fundamentally recalibrate their strategic approach.

"Leaders today must navigate the unknown while staying anchored to their values. We created this retreat with INSEAD to cultivate 'Wise Power,' helping leaders decode critical situations, make 'grey zone' decisions with confidence, and ultimately gain clarity of purpose as well as strategic alignment. We are proud to bring this programme to Malaysia for the first time." – Tan Sri Azman Hashim, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Perdana Leadership Foundation

This immersive 2-day retreat is not a passive conference. Led by Professor Marc Le Menestrel, an INSEAD Programme Director and decision scientist, the curriculum is designed for active, high-level engagement. Professor Le Menestrel’s expertise focuses on the confluence of rational thinking and ethical values in decision-making, guiding participants through the most complex leadership challenges.

Programme modules include:

●   Global Dynamics & Wise Power: Decode the disruptive forces shaping the current business environment and understand how emotions define the boundaries of strategic thinking.
●   Organisational Strategic Dilemma: Train to think strategically before reacting, unpack proactive vs. reactive strategies, and create opportunities from unexpected circumstances.
●   Decision Making in the Grey Zone: Learn to structure the grey zones of judgment and turn paradoxes into a source of wisdom and leadership power, enhancing your ability to perform beyond expectations.
●   Wise Power in Action: Develop a private, actionable vision that aligns your personal leadership accomplishments with your organisation's strategy and purpose.
