It reflects SAM’s belief in the positive impact that its participants can have on social and economic development and will open up a diverse outlook for employees to advance in their profession.

The program was designed and implemented by SAM Group Human Capital in collaboration with The Centre for Creative Leadership. 13 participants from SAM participated in effectively developing their leadership potential.

“We are absolutely delighted to honour the graduates of this program. It was designed to help participants build their self-confidence and wisdom, provide them with various techniques and examples that can help shape them into great leaders and teach them valuable skills that can guide them towards excelling in all spheres of life. Leadership development programmes are structured to guide employees interested in taking up leadership roles, help existing leaders better hone their skills while training them to achieve both short-term and long-term goals of the organisation. I believe through this program we have successfully achieved our objective of identifying and developing talents who will prove to be great leaders occupying crucial roles and taking strategic decisions in the roles they occupy,” added Al Sayegh.
