The Thomson Frank Mpinganjira (TFM) Centre of Excellence has unveiled a six-month Advanced Leadership Programme designed to build resilient leaders capable of thriving in complexity and creating lasting impact within their organisations and the country.
The programme starts on March 18, 2026 at TFM Complex in Mpemba, Blantyre, combining face-to-face and online sessions to give participants flexibility and immersive engagement.
Senior Manager for TFM Centre of Excellence, Hannah Kankuzi, said the leadership programme is focused on nurturing leaders who are not only results-driven but also grounded in purpose and inclusion.

“Institutions and businesses in the country are operating in times of rapid change and this programme is essential to equipping leaders with practical knowledge, build resilience and ethical clarity required to navigate disruption while sustaining performance,” said Kankuzi.
“The faculty brings together expertise in economics, executive coaching, leadership consulting, human capital development and management training. We want participants to build deep self-awareness and emotional intelligence so that even under pressure, they can act with integrity and inspire trust.”
“When leaders are equipped to think systematically and lead responsibly, they create long-term value for their organisations and the country,” added Kankuzi.
According to Kankuzi, the six-month programme is priced at K5 million per participant and will accommodate a limited cohort of executives and high-potential leaders drawn from both the public and private sectors.
The TFM Centre of Excellence was established to reduce reliance on international training institutions and position Malawi as a regional hub for world-class executive education.
The state-of-the-art facility features modern conference and training rooms, executive boardrooms, advanced audiovisual technology, high-speed internet and disability-friendly infrastructure, serving corporates, government institutions, parastatals, SMEs and individual professionals.
