It forms part of the joint efforts to empower national talents and develop their leadership and modern management capabilities, thereby enhancing the government's performance and aligning with future requirements. His Excellency Professor Dr. Saif Ghanem Al Suwaidi emphasized that the partnership between Dubai Courts and the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government through the 'Future Leaders Empowerment Program' reflects the institution's vision to build and strengthen the capabilities of its employees, equipping them to meet future challenges with confidence and competence.

It is a path that requires dedication and perseverance.

The curriculum followed an integrated approach, combining world-class theoretical foundations from leading academic sources, with practical application, including interactive workshops, individual mentoring sessions, specialised leadership training, as well as field visits and lectures by top-tier experts and academics. The programme included a series of qualitative leadership assessments, most notably the Gallup Leadership Test, which focuses on strengths-based development, and the Trust and Inspiration exercise, designed to foster positive energy and cultivate an environment conducive to exceptional leadership. These enabled a detailed analysis of participants' leadership styles and identifying opportunities for both individual advancement and organisational growth. The programme included field visits to leading government institutions, providing participants the opportunity to examine local best practices and consider the transferability of successful models to the institutional context of Dubai Courts. This aimed to enhance performance efficiency and align organisational processes with the wider aspirations for modernisation and development. The learning experience was enhanced through a phase of self-paced e-learning, delivered via the MBRSG's Smart Executive Education Platform. This allowed participants to engage with flexible and innovative digital training content in the field of public administration. The programme culminated with the implementation of executive projects developed collaboratively by participants in working groups. The projects tackled real-world challenges faced by Dubai Courts and proposed practical solutions and development initiatives. The participants presented their ideas to a specialised evaluation committee. The goal was to translate the skills and knowledge acquired into tangible strategies that would enhance institutional performance. Each participant engaged in an individual mentoring session in the Leadership Style Analysis Lab, which offered an in-depth diagnostic experience that allowed participants to explore their leadership interaction patterns and identify pathways for future development. This personalised engagement improved their ability to plan their professional trajectories with greater clarity, efficiency and confidence. The programme represents a comprehensive national model for empowering government leaders through the effective integration of theory and practice, underpinned by a strong commitment to human capital development. It reflects Dubai Courts' strategic focus on nurturing national talent in line with the Dubai Global Model for Designing and Building the Future, and affirms the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government's position as a leading regional authority in executive education and public policy.
