Doha: More than 1,000 guests, including dignitaries, ministers, speakers, and experts from various sectors, as well as graduates of the Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) and young leaders from across the country, will participate in the Leadership Innovation Forum 2025, to be held on Sunday, November 2.

The second edition of the forum is being held under the theme“The Art of Decision Making” to advance the dialogue on leadership excellence in a rapidly evolving world.

Building on the success of its inaugural edition, this year's forum aims to bring together industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries to explore how decision-making shapes the future of leadership.

Addressing a press conference yesterday, Director General of QLC, Abdullah Mohammed Khalifa Al Binali, said that the Leadership Innovation Forum 2025 focuses on the skill of decision-making as the essence of true leadership, noting that conscious leadership can balance vision and insight and transforming challenges into opportunities.

He remarked that the event will commence with a keynote speech delivered by the Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, H E Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, who will articulate his perspective on leadership and decision-making in a world influenced by global transformations.

“The Leadership Innovation Forum comes as a tool and as a base for the alumni of Qatar Leadership Centre. The whole purpose of creating the forum is to become a continuous learning tool that all our alumni and experts, and decision makers from Qatar and out of Qatar come and share their experiences and knowledge about how to make a decision,” he said.

According to him, the art of making decisions is very important and reflects how good a leader in any organisation is.

“That's why we are addressing different sectors, like the family, medicine, technology, sport, society, among others. We are addressing how to shape up the understanding of the decision maker and the source of it, which is family and the home,” Al Binali added.

He noted that among the most prominent sessions are: Leadership in Sports, which highlights collaboration and teamwork in high-pressure competitive environments; Medical Leadership: Between Prevention and Precision, which addresses critical decisions in modern medicine and their impact on saving lives; Leadership at Home: Building Future Leaders, which focuses on the role of family and community in instilling the values of leadership and responsibility; Initiating Leadership: From Idea to Implementation, which includes an interactive session simulating the decision-making process using modern digital tools; and From Legacy to Building the Future, which explores the transition from preserving family or institutional legacy to developing and sustaining it through conscious leadership decisions.

He said that the establishment of QLC reflects Qatar's leadership vision for developing leaders, which does not rely on self-effort, but on an organisational, systematic process that develops and shapes them for the purpose of serving Qatar.

“Since its inauguration, QLC has had among its alumni three ministers and many undersecretaries. We have also been able to produce several corporate executives among our more than 1,200 alumni. So QLC has been able to raise leaders both in the public sector and the private sector as well,” Al Binali added.
