Are CVs getting obsolete? Only social media profiles, conversations, postings et al matter now?
Are we inclusive? Reaching out to the poor, vulnerable and marginalized. To the organizations, teams working with them. Small, not accessible easily, in faraway places. Can we make processes of inclusion, reaching simpler, more straightforward, and less iterative? Can we resist giving advice, unless solicited? Even then, only if we know fully well, or after putting diligent effort in learning and formulating it into workable advice. Can we invest in building capacities – in us, our teams, our leadership, and our organizations? Can we work towards scale, systems change, and sustainability? Fully knowing that we can only set this direction, but may not achieve this at any time in totality.
Indicatively, NFFS or N Leaders who would end up at the helm of N leadership landscapes may benefit by going through an 80-credit, 12-month, 52-week, 365-day intensive, interactive, field interactive, and experiential Future Leaders Programme. FLP would catch young, qualified, experienced, potential leaders in the making as its participants, and they need to confirm their interest through a successful 15-week, 100-day, 225-hour portfolio of tasks before joining. FLP, July to July, could be in 10 segments/terms/blocks – blocks of 4-6 weeks. 28 weeks experiential, leadership/field practice, field interactive; 24 weeks individual-group practice, interactive. Indicatively: 1 Induction+ Immersion (5w); 2 Leadership Basics, NFFS Fundamentals, Food-Nutrition-Health and Value-chains (6w); 3 Field Practice (4w); 4 Information, Science, Scaling (6w); 5 Organizations, Projects, Resources (6w); 6a: Field Project (4w); 6b: Leadership Practice (Team) (4w); 7 Systems, Resources, Leading (6w); 8 Leadership Practice (6w); 9 Apprenticeship (3w); 9a: Preparing for Future Leadership landscapes and arenas (2w).
