New courses introduced under the NTUC LHUB Leadership Academy
According to NTUC LHUB’s Leadership and Coaching Report 2025, business leaders recognise the importance of core leadership capabilities such as strategic thinking, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
However, while nearly half of business leaders (48%) identify effective communication as a key leadership skill, only 27% feel that they currently possess it. Emotional intelligence is also an area of concern, with employees (31%) indicating it as the capability their leaders lack most.
Therefore, the NTUC LHUB Leadership Academy places human skills at the centre of leadership development through a structured and applied learning approach. It is anchored on three core leadership dimensions to sharpen leaders’ cognitive, emotive, and behavioural capabilities.
Under the Academy, NTUC LHUB is exploring three new leadership courses powered by globally recognised Harvard Business Impact (HBI), for early-stage managers to build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and people-centric influence. Learners will gain knowledge on practical behavioural frameworks and relevant real-world application tools to lead confidently and effectively in a fast-evolving and AI-led workplace.
At the same time, NTUC LHUB is expanding its support for mid-level managers with another two leadership courses focused on influence, strategic change, and leading teams through transformation.
NTUC LHUB is also expanding its Coaching suite with two new courses that enhance leadership capability and team performance, developed in alignment with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) globally recognised coaching accreditation standards.
Additionally, two new Emotional Intelligence courses for senior and mid-management levels will be rolled out, developed in alignment with the Genos Model of Emotional Intelligence, a globally recognised, evidence-based framework used by organisations worldwide to assess and develop emotionally intelligent leadership.
The Academy will offer four courses leading to the Institute for Human Resource Professionals (IHRP)’s Responsible People Manager Role Badge. Developed by NTUC LHUB based on course rubrics established by the Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP) and IHRP, these courses recognise people managers who demonstrate responsible, fair and future-ready leadership, in line with the Workplace Fairness Act.
