Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO) has hosted a leadership training programme with renowned leadership coach Dr Michael Y Brenner.
Organised jointly with McQuire Rens and Jones Sri Lanka, the programme took place at the Champa Central Hotel in capital Male on Thursday. More than 45 professionals participated in the day-long event.
Themed as ‘Becoming an Influential Leader’, the seminar was targeted towards executives, and for those at managerial and leadership roles. Participants explored characteristics of influential leaders, and the skills and practices that they employ for effective leadership.
As president of Right Chord Leadership, Dr Brenner has helped busy leaders cultivate more effective teams, more creative cultures and more productive employees. He has worked with several high profile companies, including Sap, AVC, Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
MATATO has a long term agreement with McQuire Rens and Jones to bring their premium programmes to the Maldives. Since 2012, MATATO and McQuire Rens and Jones have jointly organised more than six training programmes in the Maldives, including one-day programmes on Telephone Etiquette and Customer Service and Social Media Marketing last year.
An exclusive training programme on women in leadership was also held in March.
MATATO has also hosted the first ever human capacity building programme conducted in the Maldives by the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA).
