Leadership and Management Skills Course in Doha, Qatar

Leadership and Management Skills is a broad, practical program covering the two sides of running a team: managing the work and leading the people who do it. Participants explore how planning, organizing, controlling and reviewing fit together with setting direction, building trust and motivating others. The course treats leadership and management as complementary disciplines rather than competing ones, and helps participants recognize which one a situation calls for.

Sessions combine short input with case studies, group exercises and role plays drawn from typical workplace situations, such as allocating a heavy workload, handling an underperforming team member or communicating an unpopular decision. Participants leave with a personal action plan to apply back at work. The course can also run as an in-house program, using an organization's own policies, competency framework and real management scenarios.
