Scientific Framework
editVarious research programs on human cognition, leadership, critical thinking, physical spatiality and intelligence at Human Science Lab, London, provides the scientific framework for YGLP.
YGLP is based on the Four Step Leadership Theory formulated at Human Science Lab. According to the theory “the leadership achievement of an individual is proportional to the optimal use of four principal components that makes a leader – motivation, planning, energising and executing”. YGLP is designed to optimise this four key leadership component with each program module focusing on a single component.[4][5]
