Sharjah24: As part of its mission to empower future leaders, Sharjah Capability Development (Tatweer) announces the launch of the fourth edition of Wathba, the national program for creating influential leaders, set to begin in January 2025. This edition will welcome a cohort of 30 exceptional participants, each eager to refine their leadership skills and create a tangible impact in their communities.
Wathba offers a comprehensive developmental journey, beginning with a precise personal assessment to evaluate each participant’s character, strengths, and areas for development. After the assessment, participants will embark on a six-month learning experience across Sharjah and Paris, acquiring strategic leadership skills that include persuasion, negotiation, data analysis, entrepreneurship, and more. Throughout their journey, participants will engage in intensive training sessions under the guidance of world-class local and international experts in the field. Moreover, Wathba’s signature experience is set to be the Strategic Leadership Masterclass, held at INSEAD Business School in Paris for a duration of four days.
Alongside its rich transformational experience, Wathba emphasises mental and physical well-being through recreational activities and specialised workshops tailored to promote holistic health. The program also offers participants opportunities to connect with experts and influential leaders from various sectors through events, conferences, and panel discussions held throughout the year.
Khalid Al Nakhi, Director of Sharjah Capability Development (Tatweer), emphasizes that this year’s Wathba program offers a comprehensive developmental journey, unlike conventional programs that focus solely on career development. Al Nakhi further states, “Wathba aims to equip participants with future-ready skills that merge professional and personal development. This enables participants to become exceptional leaders in both the public and private sectors and to create a positive impact on their families and communities.” He also expresses his satisfaction with the outcomes of previous editions of Wathba, affirming that the program continues to shape outstanding individuals capable of seizing the opportunities of the present to build a bright future.
Supported by Rubu’ Qarn for Creating Leaders and Innovators, this program reflects the commitment of Sharjah Government to preparing a generation equipped with leadership skills across various sectors.
