The Middle East Manager ChallengeHow to Develop Leaders at Scale

There is a pressing L&D challenge facing organizations in the Gulf Cooperation Council: how to develop leadership capabilities at a rate that matches demand.

Rapid growth has led to a surge in very senior roles, filled quickly by top performers. As a result, many of those remaining in middle management are either relatively junior and/or lack the necessary capabilities to meet the demands of both their superiors and their teams.

Organizations are now seeking ways to offer new and rising leaders high quality leadership education in a way that's scalable.

The whitepaper, authored by the Co-CEOs of Abilitie GCC, introduces an alternative approach to leadership education, centered on scalable, tech-enabled learning that develops the four foundational capabilities every middle manager needs.
