Doha, Qatar: The second Leadership Innovation Forum 2025, organised by the Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) under the theme "The Art of Decision Making," opened in Doha on Sunday in the presence of HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad Al-Thani, Chairperson of the QLC Board of Directors.

In his opening remarks, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi, highlighted the complexity of decision-making in diplomacy and international relations, describing it as a process that requires clear vision, flexibility, and steadfast adherence to principles.

He said that one of the main challenges facing decision-makers today is the ability to make sound choices amid uncertainty and limited information, noting that the interconnectedness of interests and actors often prevents a complete picture. "This requires decisions based on principles rather than emotions," he added.

Dr Al Khulaifi stressed that wise decision-making balances authority and responsibility, calling each decision "an ethical act before being an administrative one." He added that both institutional and personal awareness play a key role in shaping effective leadership.
