Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), has joined hands with Barwa Bank, Qatar's most progressive Shari’ah compliant financial service provider, in offering a new and innovative leadership development program, from January 31 to December 12, 2018, aimed at educating managers on how to become more effective leaders in today’s complex and disruptive business environment.
QFBA’s National Leadership Development program is a part of its efforts to encourage companies and institutions in the public and private sectors to develop their human resources and achieve their goals. The training course seeks to develop specific leadership skills that will bring immediate results for their organization and themselves, offers participants the opportunity to enhance their skills, and enable future leaders to achieve their ambitions and career goals.
The 11-month leadership development program, aims to equip managers with a rich understanding of how to successfully steer a team through the evolutionary and disruptive changes in the corporate environment. Participants will learn how to ‘co-create meaning’ with stakeholders, and discover new ways of leading the ‘self’ in addition to efficiently leading others.
Commenting on the occasion, Dr. Mohammed Al Emadi, Acting CEO of QFBA, said: “Investing in national human capital to build a knowledge-based economy is an important pillar of QFBA’s mission towards achieving Qatar National Vision 2030, which considers human capital development as a key aspect. Through the National Leadership Development program, we aim to help managers effectively operate in times of change and present a clear picture of how they can better influence teams in this disruptive era. The program will give them a better understanding of the needs of managers and teach the key concepts of how to develop their leadership acumen.”
QFBA’s new training programs for 2018 represents an invitation to organizations and institutions to boost their investment in their human resources, which positively reflects upon their professional careers and the performance of the organizations themselves.
