The Executive Leadership Programme aims to enhance the management and leadership skills of executives in the public and private sectors. It focuses on enhancing strategic capabilities, problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, effective leadership, and change management. It also strives to train leaders capable of anticipating trends and spearheading institutional reform.

Furthermore, the programme emphasises the importance of developing strategic thinking and the ability to analyse the surrounding environment, in order to make decisions that help achieve strategic objectives. The programme is built on the premise that leaders play a key role in shaping organisational culture, and that this culture directly affects employees’ behaviour, which, in turn, contributes to the achievement of desired outcomes.

Covering a period of three months, the programme consisted of nine training modules and three site visits, where participants learned strategy development and policy-making skills, particularly for issues that align with government objectives. They also acquired valuable tools for driving institutional culture and building high-performance teams.

The Executive Leadership Programme featured training courses focusing on leadership thinking, shaping institutional culture, and guiding team behaviour.
