A unique management development programme launched by Bank Muscat, the flagship financial services provider in the sultanate, to build a potential leadership pipeline has gained momentum.

The bank hosted a review of the Jadara Management Development Programme in which H E Maitha al Mahrouqi, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Tourism, addressed the programme participants in the presence of management team members led by AbdulRazak Ali Issa, chief executive.

Delivering the keynote address, H E Maitha said, 'Leadership roles carry huge responsibilities. Leaders operate on a vision with a noble purpose.

They are passionate to achieve results and create the ground for themselves to excel. Leaders have a strategic mind to execute their vision and they think and act differently. Leaders recognise teamwork as essential and surround themselves with positive people.'

Ranked among the most influential leaders in the Middle East by Forbes magazine, H E Maitha, who has an exceptional fast-track career graph straddling both private and public sectors, added, 'Leadership is a never-ending learning process. There is always something new to be discovered through positive learning. Leaders are always motivated and they value and appreciate others. To be successful, leaders must strike a fine balance between work and life.'

Further, she said that tourism will serve as one of the country's pillars of economy as defined in the sultanate's 2040 tourism strategy. Wishing the Jadara Programme participants success, H E Maitha said, 'We must all play our part to take our beloved country forward.'

In step with its dynamic 'Let's Do More' vision and commitment to partnership in development of Omani talents, the Jadara Management Development Programme launched in collaboration with Duke Corporate Education is one of the most ambitious initiatives by the bank to equip Omani employees with higher levels of professional competence and skills. A group of 42 employees selected from across the bank are associated with this programme. Future roles have been identified and each participant has been assigned challenging positions and put on an accelerated career path.

Reinforcing commitment to developing young Omanis and providing viable career options, the Jadara Programme is aimed at sustaining the bank's top ranking as employer of choice with better attraction and retention of Omani talent.

Issa said, 'Bank Muscat is happy to see the steady progress of the Jadara Management Development Programme. The bank has full trust in the pool of competent young Omanis within the organisation to successfully complete the training and take up important roles. In line with the vision of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said for a qualitative shift in the national workforce, the bank is committed to providing opportunities to competent employees.
