Leadership Development Programme

Darden Executive Education has partnered with the Institute of Banking in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance to design a four-week executive development programme for outstanding managers from the Gulf region. The Leadership Development Programme faculty team has created an impactful programme based on action-oriented learning experiences and participant-centred classroom discussions. Through case study analysis, participants will explore actual business problems and solutions that will lead them to develop new ways of thinking about their own challenges. Learning team and class discussions offer an opportunity to practice influencing others, understanding differing viewpoints, and thinking strategically.

The Programme consists of three parts in three locations:
