Description
Welcome to season 2 of the QIYADA podcast ! How can leadership become more humane in a world increasingly driven by performance,
pressure, and rapid change? In Season 2, we explore this question through meaningful conversations with leaders, researchers, and practitioners across Germany and the Arab world, uncovering what it truly means to lead with empathy, ethics, and long-term impact. Some content in this podcast is based on ethically conducted research within the ArabGerman Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities project “Humane Leadership: Exploring Approaches of Human-Centered Management Cultures in the Arab World and
Germany” (2025). In this season, we go beyond traditional leadership models to examine the human dimension of leadership, how empathy, cultural awareness, and ethical responsibility shape decision-making, organizational cultures, and performance over time. Each episode brings together research insights and lived experiences, offering practical perspectives on
navigating complexity, balancing performance with people, and fostering more inclusive and sustainable leadership practices. Your host, AGYA member Dr. Hiba Rajha, guides you on this journey alongside diverse voices from across sectors and cultures. Through personal stories and evidence-based
reflections, QIYADA invites you to rethink leadership not only as a position of authority, but as a responsibility to others.
