The UNICEF Lebanon Country Office has gone through various major change exercises (upscaling and downscaling) in recent years, which also led to a new Country Management Team (CMT), consisting of approximately 20 senior managers (national and international) leading one of UNICEF largest country programmes. Senior managers operate in a fast-paced environment meeting demands from external and internal stakeholders, including large diverse teams.
The Lebanon Country Office (LCO) is organizing a senior management retreat in October to further build leadership skills through interactive teambuilding exercises focusing on skills such as communication, trust, stress management, change management and conflict management. The aim of the 1 1/2-day retreat is to provide the senior management team members with the opportunity to explore thinking preferences and work styles and further strengthen the recently created senior management team, while the focus of the programme will be more on developing leadership skills and strengthen the team spirit in the senior management team, through interactive teambuilding exercises.
