| Summary: | The aim of this research study was to determine whether the United Kingdom gold, silver, bronze leadership command model (GSB model) can be effectively applied in the State of Qatar. The research focussed on application of the GSB model for the policing and security arrangements for the FIFA World Cup, due to be held in the State of Qatar during 2022. Consideration was also given to the implications of adopting the GSB model beyond this date, as the State of Qatar strives to deliver its National Vision 2030. A significant part of the research examined leadership styles within the Middle East environment and the characteristic culture of the region; both of these have a direct influence on the success or otherwise in adopting a western style leadership command model in the State of Qatar. This analysis and comparison with the United Kingdom provided data to formulate a fully considered response to the research question: ‘What are the leadership and cultural challenges in effectively applying the UK gold, silver, bronze leadership command model in the State of Qatar: How can successful transfer take place?’ The researcher employed a qualitative research methodology, that led to the identification of five critical success factors: culture, leadership, decision making, partnership working; and training & development. Data was collected and, the findings grouped, using these five key themes to provide a clear structure to manage the large amount of information generated by the study. The research concluded the GSB model can be effectively applied within the State of Qatar, and its potential would be maximised through the implementation of twenty recommendations documented in the thesis. The final recommendation states the State of Qatar should consider establishing a strategic project board, post the FIFA World Cup 2022, to integrate gold, silver and bronze training for all police and security agencies in the State of Qatar, making it a key part of business as usual operations. This formal approach to embedding ... |
