Abstract
Leadership is responsible for identifying the suitable motivational framework to encourage current and prospect future leaders to continuously develop their management and leadership skills, and attend training programs. In the chosen organization for this research study, it was noticed that the demand for registration in new training courses reduced and attendance records showed clear drop over the years, as a clear sign of lack of motivation to attend. This study aimed to explore the educational strategies needed to develop current and future leaders of public sector organizations, and how to create a culture of learning and motivate staff to comply with the perceived strategy. In order to provide this process governmental organisations, have to follow specific leadership styles and models. These models are taught to current and future leaders during the educational training sessions set by the organization itself or outsourced to an educational institution. A qualitative approach was considered most suitable due to the humanistic tendency of the method to extract the participants’ opinions regarding training and motivational activities within their departments. Data was collected through the means of an appreciative inquiry workshop (questions & dialogues) in which narrative discussion was used as part of the data analysis. One-to-one interviews were also used as means for data collection.. The participants in the research were senior employees only of a governmental body in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Finally, the research study found that accredited external training is preferred in general. Additionally, formally organized in-house training programs are useful to guarantee knowledge transference from current to potential future leaders.
