Dubai Holding has officially launched “Leadon” – a new initiative for future leaders – seeking to develop individuals with high potential. The future leaders programme is in line with the conglomerate’s Leadership Model.

It will be benchmarked against similar programmes in global organisations such as General Electric, the multinational technology and services company, and Toyota, the world’s largest automaker by revenue.

Leadon will seek to establish a common standard of leadership development across all Dubai Holding entities. Linked to its guiding principles, individual entity’s needs and global best practices, the programme will also position Dubai Holding internationally, as a champion of excellence in leadership development.

Dubai Holding’s Leadership Model is built around four development categories – Strategic Thinking, Inspirational Leadership, Operational Excellence and Personal Growth.
