INTRODUCTION
UNITAR
In light of the current globalized and multi-cultural business world, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), and Arrowad for Building Values (Arrowad International Group) have partnered to create a unique training programme on "Value-Based Leadership."
The Value-Based Leadership programme will offer participants an understanding of how the different value systems of individuals, society, and cultures affect values and culture within organizations, especially in today’s globalized and multicultural business world. The programme recognizes that sustainable organizational growth requires that its leaders ensure that the corporate vision, mission, and strategies are well-reflected in their values, and that the values of the organization’s stakeholders are also empowered and enhanced through a supportive work environment in alignment with the organization’s core values. Participants will be encouraged to embrace a dynamic ‘value-based leadership’ approach, centred on ‘core value connectors,’ which can be reflected in the policies, procedures, initiatives, and stakeholder engagements of their organization.
Over the span of ten (10) courses, participants will learn essential value-based leadership skills that will facilitate improved stakeholder management, leading to improved organizational functioning, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational success. Successful participants can be awarded a Value Leader Programme Award, a Value Officer Program Certificate, and a Value Leader Programme Diploma upon completion of the basic, intermediate, and advanced programme tracks, respectively.
BENEFICIARIES
The training programme (10 courses), will provide essential value-based leadership skills to staff of international, intergovernmental, and non-governmental organizations, diplomats, government officials, and private sector professionals. The programme is designed for, but not limited to, leaders and those in managerial positions in public, private, and non-profit sectors, with the aim of encouraging these individuals to embrace a dynamic and transformative value-culture leadership approach to be applied in their organizations’ policies and procedures, initiatives, and engagements.
