On October 21, 2026, the State Examination Center organized a training session on "Foundations of Leadership and Management" for employees of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Conducted by Mirana Rustamli, Senior Advisor at the Department of Strategic Affairs and Human Capital Development of the State Examination Center, the training targeted managerial and executive staff with the aim of enhancing civil servants' professional potential, improving managerial skills, and fostering human capital development.
The primary objective of the training was to instill modern approaches to professional responsibility, ethical behavior, results-oriented management, effective communication, and team organization in public administration.
Comprising both theoretical and practical components, the curriculum provided participants with comprehensive insights into comparative analyses of leadership and management concepts, situational leadership models, equitable delegation of tasks, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation tools, as well as decision-making and conflict management.
Notably, critical matters such as ethical leadership, objectivity, transparency, and conflict-of-interest management in the civil service were analyzed through case studies drawn from real-world work environments. Participants took part in interactive assignments and role-playing exercises centered on delivering constructive feedback via the SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact) model, managing time effectively using the Eisenhower Matrix, and balancing workloads fairly.
Conducted in an interactive discussion setting, the training concluded successfully with a Q&A session addressing the participants' inquiries.
