People’s Leasing & Finance PLC, realising the importance and the strategic role it is destined to play in contributing to the country’s current and future socioeconomic development, has chosen to tread on a continued path of staff training to attune its middle management for leadership roles. Successful businesses know that investing in the next generation of leaders is critical to achieving growth over the long term.

The program designed by the PIM is expected to assist People’s Leasing & Finance PLC to expand its managers towards making them effective leaders at functional levels, and equip them with the decision-making skills required to expand their leadership capacity. The program would also deepen their understanding of core business functions, and improve their ability to lead cross-functional initiatives, amid challenging local and global markets. Amongst the modules included in the program, change and complexity management, innovation and creativity as well as quality and productivity management would, for certain, make the participants come to grips with the changing business scenario, unlike the more generic modules which teach the basics of day-to-day management. People’s Leasing & Finance PLC DGM – Finance and Administration Sanjeewa Bandaranayake addressing the audience stressed the importance of developing competencies. In an increasingly competitive environment, the need to be more professional in the way of approaching business was emphasised. Former Director of PIM Professor K.B.M. Fonseka spelt out the main objectives of the program as well as the expectations of both the company and PIM.
