Dubai Sports Council in partnership with Mohammed bin Rashid Programme for Leadership Development (MBRPLD) has launched the Hamdan bin Mohammed Programme for Sports Leadership Development (HBMPSLD).

MBRPLD is an innovative leadership programme designed to develop future national leaders capable of promoting the sustainable development of Dubai.

MBRPLD also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Dubai Sports Council (DSC) to design and manage the new programme.
  
The Hamdan bin Mohammed Programme for Sports Leadership Development, initiated by deputy ruler of Dubai and chairman of DSC Hamdan bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a unique leadership programme designed to develop future national leaders by integrating sports’ values and ethics.

The programme has been developed based on an approach that aims to achieve all-round development of an individual so as to aid in the formation of visionary leaders who can play a major role in the process of comprehensive sports development.

The launch of this programme is considered a milestone for DSC, which, since its establishment in 2005, has made significant strides in the field of regulating and developing the administrative work at sports clubs.

“The launch of this innovative sports leadership programme in Dubai is a reflection of the Emirate’s progressive approach to excellence. Building a productive sport society is vital for the all-round development of Dubai, leveraging the emirate’s position as one of the prime business, tourism and leisure destinations of the world,” said vice-president of DSC and chairman of the executive office of DSC Mattar Al Tayer.
         
The key objectives of the HBMPSLD include ensuring a long-term systematised leadership development in sports; initiating changes for a progressive and productive sport society under the ‘Change Agents Program’; convening an elite group of sports leaders to help participants in the program benefit from their experiences; sharing insights about individual leadership styles and values; and helping Dubai Government to successfully implement the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015.

The HBMPSLD will adopt a combination of strategies that include sharing of international best practices and experiences, in addition to studies and projects related to local sports and culture in the UAE, in accordance with the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015. – TradeArabia News Service
