Leadership plays an important role in the success of any organization, it is crucial to understand that leadership is not only about making decisions, but also based on the ability to foster mutual relationship between team members and working as an ideal role model and a source of inspiration to achieve the best results," said Abdullah al-Sulaiti, the chief executive officer of Nakilat.Dr. Kelly Otter, dean of SCS, said the ceremony represents a shared milestone that exemplifies the university’s deep commitment to global engagement.Terming the program for Nakilat as truly ground-breaking, she said "not only does this program meet the high standards of excellence that Georgetown has maintained since its founding in 1789, but it also engages deeply with Nakilat’s needs as a partner organisation.”Dr. Safwan Masri, the dean of GU-Q, praised the participants’ dedication to personal and professional development."By investing in yourselves, you have also invested in your teams, your organisation, and the industry as a whole. You have become stronger, more effective leaders, capable of inspiring and empowering others, and of driving success and growth at every level," he said.Across ten individual modules and ten one-on-one leadership coaching sessions, three cohorts of participants in the custom-designed program explored topics including values-based leadership, leading teams, communication in organizations, change initiatives, innovation, strategic thinking, decision-making, and negotiation.In between the modules, participants were tasked with individual and group assignments relevant to real business challenges faced by Nakilat.For their final capstone course, participants reflect on their learning and development as leaders and present plans for the company’s continued growth.
