Middle East & Africa

About CCL’s Middle East & Africa Locations

Businesses in the Middle East and Africa are rapidly growing and transitioning into global enterprises, making it imperative to understand leadership from different perspectives. Fast-growing and uncertain global economic conditions, along with persistent ambiguity, have made strengthening the leadership pipeline a critical success factor. There has never been a more pressing time for developing leaders in this region.

Our ability to work along the leadership pipeline, from frontline to C-suite leaders, combined with decades of global experience and expertise, make us an ideal partner to serve clients in this region.

We draw from a world of experience across cultures, industries, and disciplines, helping you through real-world challenges and measuring the impact of our work. Ranked among the world’s top providers of executive education, you can be confident that we will deliver the results that matter most to you — whether you’re looking for leadership training in Africa or leadership development in the Middle East.

Our leadership development experts focus on corporate work and leadership training for both business and government leaders. Our leadership courses are tailored to recognize the unique business environment of organizations operating in the Middle East and Africa.

About Our Offices

Based out of our Riyadh offices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Dubai offices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we work with some of the largest and most successful private and public organizations in the region to provide world-class leadership development in the Middle East.

Many of these organizations are investing in both new and experienced leaders who can help promote growth and build capacity in their companies. We are proud to grow with companies, institutions, and societies as a whole by touching the lives of corporations and NGOs through our various partnerships for leadership development in the Middle East.

We’re working to bring world-class leadership training to Africa. Our dedicated team in our Africa offices work to make high-quality leadership development affordable, accessible, and scalable to underserved populations.

Since 2006, we have delivered tailored leadership development programs to more than 100 social sector organizations and over 50,000 individuals from 20 developing countries. Our offices work with some of the largest and most successful private and public organizations in Africa.

“I learned a great deal about the way I think about myself and the reasons for my thinking. Receiving feedback from my peers and superiors was one of the most powerful elements of the program. I was able to understand how other people see me in the work environment and better understand the impact of my leadership style on other people. Knowing more about myself — compared with the way other people see me — is making me a well-rounded person and better equipped to lead.”
