We Will Talk About The Art of Values-Based Leadership With Dr. Basil Mustafa
In our webinar titled Art of Values-Based Leadership, in which we will examine the skills required to create the “Exemplary Leadership Skill”, we welcome Dr. Basil Mustafa.
All our friends are invited to our The Art of Values-Based Leadership Webinar, which will be moderated by a student in Psychology at Boğaziçi University, Sümeyra Nevra Karacan on Saturday, January 8th at 6 pm.
Values-Based Leadership
Muslim societies today are facing the primary challenge of managing the influences of modernisation and globalization while maintaining their religious and social values to achieve balanced and sustainable development. Success in achieving this aim crucially depends on the quality of young leaders who are the potent force in shaping the future. The primary leadership challenge in this context is the development of young people who possess the capacity for excellence and whose hearts are firmly connected to Allah swt. Those who can discern a productive path in life while holding fast against selfish temptations and the competition for personal luxury and opulence. The enduring challenge for human societies is the development of leaders who are a living embodiment of virtue and distinction. Their conduct and character are consistent with the description given in surah القصص:
وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّـهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّـهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾
To maintain this leadership standard there is a pressing need to formulate a more creative approach to education and learning at all levels. Training of the soul is as important to achieving our development goals today as is training the mind. Today we cannot overstate the case for an inspiring educational strategy that will place Islamic values and social responsibility at the heart of our professional business development and economic activity.
