(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatargas recently hosted students from Al Khor International School (AKIS) on a three-day residential programme as part of its Cadre Leadership Development Programme, which targets the company's high-potential leaders.
Held for the second year in a row, the event brought together 15 Qatargas cadre leaders and 28 AKIS student leaders. The programme provided an opportunity for the Qatargas leaders to work closely with the student leaders to further develop their leadership skills and share their expertise in this area.
As part of phase one of the programme, the Qatargas cadre leaders completed three modules € Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading in Action. The student leaders from AKIS were involved in the third module, Leading in Action, a practical workshop encouraging the Qatargas cadre leaders to experiment and put into action the content, tools and skills covered on the programme to date.
The Qatargas cadre leaders designed and facilitated their own workshops for the students, in which they passed on some of the lessons and insights gained throughout the year.
The students were divided into groups and given the task of preparing and delivering a special event, with the support of the Qatargas cadre leaders, at the closing ceremony of the programme on day three.
The Qatargas leaders supported, guided and led the students, sharing with them their own leadership lessons in the process. During the ceremony, the students delivered presentations outlining their vision for the Student Council in 2015 while the Qatargas leaders presented their learning from their collaboration with the students.
Adnan al-Shaibi, Qatargas Learning and Development manager, said: "We were very pleased to host the students for the programme again this year. I am sure that as much as the students benefited from the experience, our cadre leaders also took away some valuable learning from guiding and supporting them and effectively applying the skills they have acquired from the leadership development programme."
The closing event was attended by parents, senior Qatargas managers as well as AKIS students and staff.
