Dubai, 14 January 2016: Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the region, has congratulated the latest cohort of 24 mid-level managers to complete its intensive four-month leadership development programme, which is organised in partnership with Harvard Business Publishing.

The programme is designed to transform managers into leaders and is central to Emirates NBD Group’s talent development strategy and ensuring the necessary people are in place to support the business’s continued growth.

Talented bank employees were selected to join the programme, which focused on three key aspects: personal leadership, team leadership and execution leadership. Participants undertook more than 150 hours of learning through online, webinars, classroom workshops and action learning projects.

Participants were divided into four cross functional teams. To broaden their perspective, each team was allocated a business project external to their domain expertise. The outcome of these projects has been significant to the business in helping to generate revenues as well as reduce costs. Participants also worked on community leadership projects with the aim of developing leaders with a social purpose.

Over the past three years, more than 80 employees have graduated from the bank’s leadership development programme.

Seen here in the picture are Shayne Nelson, Group CEO Emirates NBD, members of the Executive Committee, programme directors and dignitaries from Harvard Business Publishing alongside the programme graduates.
