MB Holding Group of Companies
launch the “MB Leadership Development Program”
The MB Holding Group
of Companies recently launched the “MB Leadership Development
Program” at the Grand Hyatt Muscat. Attended by the Shareholders
and key personnel from the Group, the MB Leadership Development
Program highlighted the need to develop existing leaders and
nurture emerging business leaders. The cornerstone of MB Group’s
growth and success is to have Leaders and Managers who are
competent and capable of leading and managing the Group and its
various business entities to deliver the company’s long-term
business goals and aspirations.
The “MB Leadership Development Program”, is a specially designed
development intervention which comprises two unique but
inter-related programs i.e. the “Emerging Leaders Program (EmLeP)”
and “Experienced Leaders Program (ExLeP)”. Developed in
partnership with MEIRC Training and Consulting, Dubai, this
program is aimed at the emerging leaders i.e. those individuals
who have the potential to assume future leadership and senior
management roles in the organization, and who therefore need to
be developed and nurtured accordingly. Whilst the second
program, is targeted at existing staff currently holding
managerial positions at the middle and senior management levels
and whose leadership skills need to be further enhanced in order
to become more effective leaders.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Dr Mohammed Al Barwani,
Chairman, MB Holding Company, says, “Given the diverse, complex
and competitive nature of MB’s business coupled with its
ambitious expansion plans over the next couple of years, the
Group needs Leaders who are adept at dealing with various
business issues and challenges, capitalizing the strengths and
capabilities of the Group, and turning business threats to
opportunities. In addition, the Group requires Leaders, who can
help drive the respective businesses to set clear business goals
and agenda, inspire, motivate and develop the workforce, help
champion and facilitate the various change and business
improvement initiatives across the organization. Through this
program, we aim to groom future leaders."
The two programs consist of several modules that will run over a
period of 12 to 15 months and include topics that cover the
range of leadership, management and business ideas and tools
required to deal with today’s business challenges. To ensure
that the new skills learnt and acquired during the program are
applied at the workplace, the participants will be required to
undertake a comprehensive project that deals with “real business
issues” and that can add value to the Group. This will be done
either as an individual or as a team and will address topics
such as Profitability, HSE Leadership, Innovation and
Creativity, Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable
Development, i.e. key business themes driving the Group and
which the participants need to know and understand as current
and future leaders.
Mohammed Al Kharusi, Director, Corporate Operations, MB Holding,
adds, “I am pleased to say that we have put in place a program
that we can all be proud of. As the first session goes underway,
I look forward to ensuring the success of these programs. I
encourage each one of you to seize and take full advantage of
this opportunity. Develop and enhance your knowledge and skills
but more importantly ensure that you apply and share what you
have learnt at the workplace and help the Group grow and prosper
for the betterment of all.”
The first group of participants for the two programs will
commence their training in February 2012.
