The fifth strategy pertains to the establishment of a new style of leadership that combines flexibility, experimentation, and innovation.
The two new programs address the preparedness of future leaders in both the government and private sectors. They aim to equip future talents with the necessary knowledge, skills, visions, and strategies. These programs also introduce measures to translate theory into tangible reality.
