Worldwide: Kepler International Hospitality Academy (KIHA) will launch the first edition of its five-month Senior Executive Leadership Programme in Amsterdam this October.
KIHA is tailored to “ambitious, successful senior executives in the premium echelons of the hospitality sector” with over 10 years’ hospitality management experience.
The Senior Executive Leadership Programme revolves around three core themes: Deep Service Hospitality, Positive Impact Business Models, and Leadership through Self-Mastery. The course is divided into two consecutive stages.
The first stage consists of three, five-day residential study modules: two in Europe (Amsterdam and Freiburg/Basel), and one in Asia (Kyoto).
The second stage consists of a two-month leadership assignment in the workplace.
Each cohort is limited to 15 participants, who will be supported by personally-assigned mentors, coaches, and their peer group. Development coaching sessions will be provided for every participant before, during and after the study modules.
Co-founded by Jannes Sörensen, Phillippe Krenzer, Jacob Mayne and Ken Yokoyama, KIHA will launch on 7 October 2024 in Amsterdam.
Sörensen said: “Kepler’s intensive, experience-based approach to the development of senior hospitality managers is unique in the international business school world. Where schools of hospitality management tend to emphasise technical and financial subjects at the expense of personal development, service, and cultural aspects, learning at KIHA focuses on personal growth and development, as well as the acquisition of new business skills and insights.”
Krenzer added: “Today’s leading hoteliers are often operationally excellent, and at this stage of their careers, they need to become visionary leaders. This training program will support them by immersing them in situations that completely challenge their certainties.”
Applications for the KIHA Senior Executive Leadership Programme can be made here.
