“We are pleased that the first Qatar Leadership Centre programme has made such a positive beginning, and that the programme has been well received by the first class of participants,” remarked HE Sheikh Dr Abdullah bin Ali al-Thani, QLC’s executive director and board member of the centre.
“As a special initiative of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, its Chairman, QLC is positioned to play a significant role in helping promising young Qatari men and women to further develop their high-level leadership skills. This will enable them to better serve Qatar in many important areas in the future,” he noted.
