This study evaluates the effectiveness of leadership development initiatives implemented in Qatar’s public health sector between 2023 and 2024, particularly those offered by the Ministry of Public Health and Hamad Medical Corporation. As part of the national strategy to build a resilient healthcare workforce, leadership training programs have been introduced targeting mid- and senior-level healthcare managers. Using a qualitative methodology based on semi-structured interviews with 20 participants, the study explores three main outcome areas: improvements in job performance, growth in leadership competencies, and changes in self-efficacy. Findings indicate that 80% of participants experienced tangible improvements in decision-making and interdepartmental coordination, while others noted modest changes. However, several challenges were identified, including lack of contextual adaptation, limited follow-up support, and time constraints. The research concludes with practical recommendations for enhancing program alignment with workplace realities, incorporating mentorship, and institutionalizing impact assessments. These insights contribute to the evidence base on leadership development in healthcare and support efforts to improve organizational effectiveness across Qatar’s public sector.
