As a continuation of the successful launch in June 2012 of its Corporate Academy programme, a comprehensive development platform for DPG employees, the ‘Insights on Leadership’ forum was introduced specifically for middle and senior management.

The forum, which was introduced by Mr. Khalid Al Malik, Group CEO of Dubai Properties Group, included a presentation by guest speaker Mr. Riad Kamal, founder and chairman of Arabtec Construction and CEO of Arabtec Holding.  Mr. Kamal, who was involved in a number of prestigious developments in Dubai including the iconic Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab, offered his foremost insights on leadership competencies. As part of his speech he advised the audience on the importance of maintaining a company’s reputation, which he said was a team objective and should be a common goal for all employees. Mr. Kamal also placed emphasis on rewarding employee dedication through training and education.
