Programme focused on modern leadership and management skills
The two-month programme helped participants build key leadership and management skills. It also supported the Authority’s wider strategic goals.
The training covered several important topics. These included strategic leadership, change management, decision-making, and crisis management. Participants also learned about institutional performance improvement and leadership in the age of artificial intelligence.
In addition, the programme focused on influence, negotiation, and team management skills. As a result, participants gained practical knowledge that can support organisational growth and performance.
Executive sessions offered strategic insights
The programme included interactive dialogue sessions with executive leaders. These discussions gave participants valuable insights into the Authority’s priorities and future direction.
Moreover, the sessions created opportunities for professional growth and leadership learning. Participants gained a better understanding of how leaders manage change and drive institutional success.
Team projects addressed workplace opportunities
Participants worked in specialised teams throughout the programme. Together, they developed practical projects that focused on workplace challenges and improvement opportunities.
At the end of the programme, each team presented its findings and recommendations. These presentations showcased the skills and knowledge participants developed during the learning journey.
Furthermore, the projects encouraged collaboration, innovation, and problem-solving. They also helped employees apply leadership concepts to real workplace situations.
