Abstract

The study addresses a crucial area of leadership development and competency enhancement in a major Indian corporation. It follows a data-driven approach, using survey-based research, data analysis techniques such as Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib, and effectiveness scores to provide empirical insights. By comparing different training modes like online, offline, and hybrid, the study helps organizations optimize their learning strategies. Its findings have real-world applica-tions, making them valuable for NTPC and similar large organizations, particularly for HR and leadership teams. Additionally, it provides actionable recommendations for improvement, such as enhancing role clarity, fostering leadership trust, and promoting a constructive feedback culture. The research contributes to optimizing leadership training programs for sustainable professional growth and organizational success.
