In his keynote address, Chairman of OSHRM, Dr Ghalib bin Saif al Hosni, explained the significance of this year's theme, 'This year's conference focuses on leadership in a rapidly changing world, where the boundaries between markets and cultures are increasingly blurred. In such a context, there is a pressing need for a new kind of leadership — one that emerges from a deep awareness of transformation and that anticipates the future with flexibility and renewal. 'Leadership today is no longer measured by a leader's ability to exert control, but rather by their capacity to empower others, channel energy toward innovation, and foster diverse and inclusive workspaces. This is where the role of the modern leader — the transformational leader — becomes essential. The traditional leadership model is no longer effective in a world governed by technology and the evolving realities of employees and communities,' he added. 'The shift from a local to a global context requires leaders to move from a mindset of control to one of growth. Through this transformation, the leader becomes the primary catalyst for change, the nurturer of talent, and the bridge between the organization's present and its global aspirations,' he concluded. The first day of the event included multiple keynote addresses from key local and global leaders, including the Omani Minister of Labour, Dr Mahad bin Saeed Baawain; the President of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Eng Naif al Abri; entrepreneur and philanthropist Ghanim al Muftah; and author and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School, Costas Markides.
