Leadership Effectiveness in the GCC
Leadership effectiveness is the foundation of organisational success - especially in the GCC’s dynamic and diverse business environment. This short guide explores key frameworks, including our ABC Framework and Brendon Burchard’s Six High-Performance Habits, tailored specifically for leaders in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and beyond.

Behaviour: Daily actions that influence team culture and performance.
Confidence: The mindset to lead decisively, especially under pressure.

Generate Energy: Maintain high physical and emotional energy.
