PARTICIPANTS COMMENTS

September 19-20 OPEN ENROLLMENT PROGRAMME “The People Side of Strategic Leadership”

Marina Medvedeva, Board and Committees Support Department, TNK-BP I liked very much the way the programme was structured: no unnecessary things, everything was precise, competent, captivating, informative and, what is important, applicable to real life! The programme helped me to see other horizons and hidden agendas of leadership; to identify personal competences that should still be developed/extended; to become convinced, how significant and useful is to step out a "comfort area" and think/act in an alternative way. Our group consisted of active and brilliant people full of energy - it was really interesting to study and work together. I would like to say special "thank you" to our course teacher Pierre Casse. We listened to him, asked him, discussed together and found way outs - so fascinating. His knowledge and practical experience turned out to be of great help to us. I would also thank everybody who took part in preparation and organization of the course. It was the best leadership course I have ever participated.

Vladislav Sherstoboev, Branch General Director, Samara, GRADIENT I enjoyed every minute of the seminar, thank you very much for the invitation. The reasons to enjoy: 1. Topic - when you read the heading, a prejudice remains that it is going to be about leadership again, what else can be said about it… But directly from the very first minutes of the seminar it becomes evident that I have not even heard and read on leadership from the position Pierre unfolded. The aspects of leadership in situations of uncertainty, of how a leader turns uncertainty into certainty were presented attractively. 2. The teacher - Pierre. He is like an ENERGIZER battery, one can hardly express. You have to see, listen, feel. He perfectly holds and directs the attention of the audience. Many examples are from his own experience. In addition, an excellent translation made by an assistant who tried to copy even the intonation. 3. Course instruments - I appreciated that we were not overloaded by schemes, models and theory. I liked 2 models and 2 tests that can be used in real life and are valuable for managers. In my view, all the course instruments are efficient. 4. Invited guest - a very practical and useful method of course presentation. Mr. Nakhapetian gave real examples to show how they apply the instruments, the course touched upon. Moreover, Mr. Nakhapetian demonstrated a very interesting approach to personnel education by means of his HR department. 5. Organization - a convenient classroom, location.

September 21-22 The People Side of Strategic Leadership for Company NOVATEK

Vladimir Smirnov, Deputy Chairman of the Board, OJSC "NOVATEK" We are a specific team in our own way and we are constantly eager to act. Interesting practical tasks and dynamism of the seminar's presenters could organize us in a remarkable manner, and I have no doubt that such programmes are very useful.

October 27-28 The People Side of Strategic Leadership for Company TROIKA DIALOG

Sergey Vasin, Director Innovative, understandable, direct and very live style of the seminar. It's not theory that is in spotlight, but clear skills that you can apply - if you have enough motivation and patience - on the very next day.

Artemiy Yershov, Director, Troika Dialog Ukraine Great professor; he managed to have our attention at every minute of this 2-day 16-hour class. Very informative, very useful - the whole impression is very positive. I am sure I can bring to practice many things I learned from it.

October 29-30 The People Side of Strategic Leadership for Company FGC

Natalia Kuvshinova, Head of the Administration and Records Management Department of FGC The program helped to structure the knowledge that we already had, to see ourselves from a different point of view, to understand what we do right or wrong, and maybe what keeps us from taking the right steps. We are going to use everything we learnt in the seminar n our everyday work. This is very important for one's own internal growth.

October 29-30 Executive Negotiation Skills for HydroOGK Company

Vasiliy Zubakin, Deputy Chairman of the Board of OJSC "HydroOGK" Our managers often have to hold negotiations not just with colleagues from other companies, but with the state officials both on the federal and the local level, and those negotiations often turn to be rather difficult. This is why for us the opportunity to understand the peculiarities and the special logic of the governmental administrative bodies and to study different aspects of negotiations between businessmen and state officials was extremely valuable.

Olga Gavrilova, Head of the Department of Personnel Development and Support Programmes, HR Department of OJSC "UK HydroOGK" We set several objectives for SKOLKOVO - we were mainly interested in developing the negotiating skills of our top managers and other employees who take part in negotiations. I believe that the successful combination in the workshop of practical cases-studies and theoretical analysis had the right effect.

November 12-15 OPEN ENROLLMENT PROGRAMME “Decision Making for Leaders”

Alexander Chernov, Federal grid company UES Director The programme covered methods and techniques for most efficient decision-making that we can use in our company. I am sure this experience can be useful for the rest of my colleagues and is generally applicable to real-life situations when decisions are made intuitively, rather than based on an analysis of information, selection of options and alternatives.

Andrei Girichev, Deutsche Securities Managing Director, Head of Securities Trading I enjoyed the programme very much. It helped systematically arrange the segmented theoretical and practical knowledge I had in decision-making. The examples and cases reviewed showed it once again very clearly that: having analyzed a situation what is important is not to understand why a mistake was made, but to avoid it in the first place.
