The 360-Degree Integrated Leader: Emotional Intelligence in Achieving Peak Leadership

The 360-Degree Integrated Leader: Emotional Intelligence in Achieving Peak Leadership

5-Day Training Course

Introduction

True leadership extends beyond technical competence and authority — it requires self-awareness, emotional mastery, and the ability to connect authentically with others at every level of an organization. This 5-day program develops a "360-degree" model of leadership: leading upward, downward, across teams, and inward (self-leadership), all anchored in emotional intelligence (EQ). Participants gain practical tools to manage their own emotions, read and influence others, build trust, and drive peak performance in themselves and their teams — tailored to leadership contexts across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the GCC, and Africa.
