Everyone around you feels great leadership; it makes others want to follow you and do great work. However, great leadership can only happen if a business invests in the right leadership training for its executives.

Join us as we explore the International Certificate in Advanced Leadership Skills program, which is accredited by the International Academy of Business and Financial Management™.

A Timely Investment in How We Lead

Leadership skills are considered in significant shortage across the Middle East, which is experiencing a substantial influx of investment, particularly in new industries and an increasing number of local start-ups. Organisations off to a better start are those who are actively investing or continue to invest in upskilling initiatives that drive organisational success. The same is true for existing industries with clear front-runners; continued leadership development is improving their creativity and innovation.

At mselect, we’ve always known that good leadership sits at the heart of everything we do. That’s why our senior leadership team recently completed the International Certificate in Advanced Leadership Skills program, accredited by the International Academy of Business and Financial Management™ (IABFM) as part of their continued development. Not because we have gaps to fix but because we believe leadership needs to keep evolving, especially at the top.

In taking this program, we were able to continue challenging how we lead and critically think about the people we manage, their performance and group alignment across multiple countries. It helped us look closely at how we make decisions, set the tone for our culture, and communicate what matters—internally and to our clients. We believe there is great value in considering a course like this for your business.

The Impact We Are Seeing and Why We Recommend This Leadership Programme for Your Executives

One of the best parts of the International Certificate in Advanced Leadership Skills program was its practicality. This wasn’t theoretical content or high-level fluff. It was grounded in the day-to-day realities of running teams, leading change, and being responsible for the direction of a business.

Our executives explored key topics such as:

●      Building and communicating a clear leadership vision

●      Strategic planning and effective use of time

●      Managing performance and having the right conversations

●      Coaching individuals and developing team potential

●      Leading through uncertainty and change

●      Creating a values-based culture that drives action

●      Holding ourselves and others accountable in meaningful ways

It also allowed us to reflect on what kind of leaders we want to be—and how that plays out in practice—critical elements of organisational branding and operation.

Since completing the programme, we’ve noticed real change. Our senior team is more energised and refocused on driving exceptional results and raising the team's and business's performance standards through outstanding leadership.

There’s greater clarity in how we make decisions and communicate them. Expectations are clearer, and we’re more consistent in approaching challenges. We’re more aligned as a group, which has a noticeable effect on how we lead others and approach our work with clients. Projects run more smoothly, conversations are more focused, and moving from planning to action is easier without losing momentum.

As the Middle East evolves over the next decade, organisations will rely on leadership teams to deliver innovation at a higher performance rate. Your investment now will make all the difference in providing the environment for that.
