The GA and Security Leadership Program – The Journey

In April 2016, after a series of consultations with Mr Sulaiman Al Thunayan, the Leadership Team from GA and Security and the HR L&D Partner, the concept of the GA and Security Leadership Program was born.

The overall aim of the program was and still is to build internal people-management and leadership skills and capability across both departments. Since 2016, the program has provided a series of programs, workshops and development activities for colleagues in people leader roles. The whole program is underpinned by the philosophy of ‘Leading Customer and Performance Excellence’ Our theme for 2018/19 was ‘ Excellence ’ and this began with an evaluation exercise to gauge our progress since 2016. We engaged various leaders in both departments in a series of meetings and focus groups which helped us create a framework of Key Strengths for People Leaders. Using these key strengths the 2019 Excellence Program was designed and included the following development elements;

Communicating Excellence Workshop

TMSDI psychometric completion
