TeenLeadr™ Foundations
For Corporate & Leadership Careers
TeenLeadr™ is a formative programme: students discover what their mindsets are naturally aligned to, work on their leadership muscles across seven dimensions, and experiment across five distinct theatres of leadership before committing to one for their capstone.
What sets this program apart
Program Curriculum
The 7 Leadership Muscles
Seven competencies run through the entire programme. Every day activates specific muscles — students map their experience to these from Day 4 onward.
| Self | Emotional regulation, integrity, discipline |
| People | Listening, influence, respectful disagreement |
| Execution | Turning decisions into action |
| Domain | Understanding the issue deeply |
| Institutional | Designing systems and processes |
| Ecosystem | Managing stakeholders and incentives |
| Transformative | Shifting direction and reframing problems |
The 5 Leadership Theatres — choose your arena
Students explore all five theatres, then select one for their capstone project.
Politics & Public Mandate
How political leadership works — winning mandates, navigating public trust, governing with accountability.
Governance & Public Administration
How India’s institutions work — the IAS, IPS, judiciary, local governance. Field visit to a government facility. Interaction with a civil servant.
Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
Leadership through business building. How founders create change at scale. Field visit to T-Hub, Hyderabad’s startup ecosystem.
Social Leadership & NGOs
How civil society organisations lead change without state or market power. Community mobilisation, grassroots leadership, purpose-driven work. Leader interaction/Field visit to an NGO.
Media, Culture & Narrative
How journalism, storytelling, and cultural production shape public life. Who controls the narrative — and why that is a leadership question. Field visit to a newsroom.
