"Each of you are a shepherd and each of you are responsible for their flock." This profound statement by Prophet Muhammad (s) compels us to recognise that we are all leaders at some level. But what makes someone a good leader? And how does each and everyone of us measure up against the leadership standards set by the Prophet?
Based on the best selling book Muhammad (s): 11 Leadership Qualities That Changed The World by the late Nabeel al-Azami and drawing on other classical and contemporary works on leadership, this unique course offers fresh insights into the leadership legacy of Prophet Muhammad (s). Professor John Adair, the world's first professor of Leadership Studies, was a mentor to the author and contributed a foreword to the book stating "the world needs this book".
The principal course instructor worked closely with the author for over a decade including his final six months to develop and finalise the conceptual framework of his leadership ideas. For the first time since the publication of the book, IIDR brings you this course to enrich your understanding of leadership from the life of Prophet Muhammad (s). Analysing events of the Prophet's leadership legacy through a case study approach and exploring contemporary innovative thinking around leadership, this course synthesis the best of different learning traditions and practices.
