National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) makes consistent endeavours to increase employees’ efficiency through best-in-class training and development programs and workshops to keep pace with the latest changes in the banking industry. In this context, the bank organised a lecture titled “Conditions for Success” by Professor Mark Fritz, the prominent leadership speaker, author and international consultant on personal and leadership effectiveness, and professor at IE University – Business School Madrid.
The training discussed ways to manage long-term success and enable work teams to make greater achievements on their own.
It aimed to define the conditions for success for managers and companies at various job levels by adopting a set of important factors including clarity, business judgment by trusting judgment to keep delegating decisions, as well as Influencing Skills through more effective cooperation among team members.
It also shed light on the conditions for a successful teamwork environment, as well as the cooperation skills that are the main characteristics that successful managers look for in their employees.
Commenting on this intervention, Najla Al-Sager, Head of Talent Management, Group Human Resources at National Bank of Kuwait, said: “NBK believes that leaders are the critical factor to create the environment and culture we strive for, a culture that allows our employees to unlock their full potential and thrive.”
“The Talent Management Department’s offerings are constantly evolving, by introducing new educational opportunities that promote an open work culture. This includes an offering designed to empower leaders to create an environment driving employees’ innovation and creativity,” Al-Sager added.
“NBK provides the training programs and the essentials required for future leaders to be able to adapt, as well as stimulate and empower others, and be decisive in times of uncertainty,” she mentioned.
Al-Sager noted that managers’ development programs have always been a key focus for NBK, stemming from a consistent vision of how we understand leadership and what we expect from leaders. It also reflects the unique needs of leaders and is supported by rigorous scientific research to identify the knowledge and skills that form the core of effective and comprehensive leadership to meet staff training needs.
It is worth mentioning that organising such events comes in line with NBK’s commitment towards the continuous development of its employees. The bank regards training and development as valuable essential investments for the mutual benefit of employees and the bank, which are ultimately translated into better customer service.
