Etilsalat Academy organizes Leadership by Intent seminar

Schuitema is known for his controversial theories in the area of administrative leadership based on the concept of 'Leadership by Intent - Care and Growth'.

The seminar was held in the Etisalat Academy Auditorium with an audience of distinguished guests from universities, banks, local government, as well international delegates and representatives from Etisalat.

Schuitema discussed the modern elements that underpin his theory of 'Leadership by Intent - Care and Growth' for dealing with the various qualities of human fears, greed, risk, competitiveness, job satisfaction, ambition, emotional intelligence, heritage, and the institutional mechanisms and means for transition from working individually to team performance.

This depends on the division of responsibility and activating the reward and punishment system to overcome operational thinking based on delaying executive lead styles, to a system of trust and rules of conduct for executives which regulates and limits the liability with set goals and action plan.

Dr. Doaa Fares, Etisalat Academy General Manager, said:

'Etisalat Academy is a major regional training center that is specialized in preparing qualified professionals and leaders. The Academy's goal is to provide the region's market with latest training programs and up to date methods that provide comprehensive solutions for preparing competences and organizational development across the region'.

'Etisalat academy is proud to host the international consultant Etsko Schuitema who has one of the most debatable methods in organizational development. His method (Leadership by Intent - Care and Growth) has established new standards of administrative thinking in many global institutions in various sectors,' added Dr. Doaa.

He is the Managing Director of Schuitema Associates, South Africa, an established consultancy organization that specializes in organizational transformation through personnel development.
