Accelerating GCC Leadership in Action

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region is home to Corporate Leadership Development Consultants who help develop leaders and business strategy in various sectors. As the GCC nations have experienced rapid economic growth, these consultants have become key partners to companies, helping them navigate through transformational initiatives, digitalization and the complexities of international expansion. GCC Leadership consultants are providing a wide range of services including executive coaching, strategic leadership seminars and comprehensive development programs covering individual and the whole organization needs of private and public sector organizations. Often, their approach includes culturally appropriate frameworks and values that resonate with local practices and those of the organization to address succession planning and problems in family owned businesses, which are common corporate structures throughout the region.

Notably, GCC leadership consultants are aligned with national initiatives that aim to diversify the economy and to nationalize the workforce. The alignment also means that leadership programs work both for the individual corporate growth and for broader national objectives. Leadership consultants play a big role in the socioeconomic transformation and future resilience of the region by developing leaders that can lead companies to these goals. Consultants in the GCC are also increasingly claiming to have digital leadership skills, in response to the region’s drive towards digitization, in addition to traditional leadership capabilities. With industries embracing advanced technologies, there is a need for leaders who are proficient in digital strategy, data analytics and agile methodologies.

It is with the view of staying updated with the emerging trends in the region’s business landscape that Asia Business Outlook has come up with a special issue containing stories of consultants who have demonstrated their capability through their expertise. To strengthen the business landscape with their tightly-knit and result-oriented approach, they are setting new standards of effectiveness.
