Bahrain Labour Minister Jameel bin Mohammed Ali Humaidan opened the annual leadership forum themed "Think Like a CEO", held on June 21 and 22. The two-day event was organised by Origin Group in the presence of its Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Al Banna, with the participation of experts in human resources from Bahrain and abroad.

The conference aims to develop leaders from national cadres in the development of human resources in light of the acceleration of technology and artificial intelligence and the development of young leaders, which are the most important pillars of development and link them to technology.

The conference reviewed the most prominent leadership problems, including taking difficult decisions during crises, managing work teams, and finding appropriate solutions. It also reviewed successful experiences in this context.

Humaidan stressed the importance of the theme of this year’s conference, pointing out that developing national competencies and upgrading them to leadership levels to lead the production process reflects positively on the sustainability of improving productivity levels in institutions because the qualified national leadership component represents real capital in the development paths.

He highlighted the successful experiences of institutions that relied on Bahraini competencies and progressed in their professional ladder to assume advanced leadership positions.
