The Qatar Career Fair will host two leadership building lecturers by leadership trainer Dr Joe Folkman, today and tomorrow. The lecturers are aimed at developing the leadership skills  of Qataris in the workforce and beyond. Both Lecturers will be held from 10am to 12pm at the activities theatre at the QCF 2013 exhibition hall.
The first Lecture, “The Extraordinary Leader...How to turn Good Managers into Great Leaders”, will be held today. Dr Folkman will demonstrate how leadership is a concrete and learnable skill that can be acquired by studying and applying specific proficiencies and techniques. Amongst other techniques, audiences will learn 16 statistically proven competencies that set extraordinary leaders apart from average managers.
The second lecture, “Are women better leaders than men? The Benefits of Providing Development Opportunities for all Employees”, will take place tomorrow and is a women-only event. The lecture will be based on a research published in Harvard Business Review that proves women are better overall leaders and aims to answer the longstanding argument of the placement and qualifications of women in the workforce.
