Leadership Development in the Arab World

The Arab world has been the site of a growing interest in leadership development by a variety of actors from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors and, accordingly, has witnessed a significant growth in the number and type of leadership development programs in recent years. The goal of this paper is to provide a broad assessment of leadership development programs in the Arab world. In particular, it explores three main questions: First, what counts as leadership development in the Arab world? Second, what are some of the main challenges facing leadership development programs in the Arab world? Third, what are the key recommendations for advancing effective leadership development in the Arab world?
