| Summary: | Developing leadership skills in female students is essential for preparing them to excel in the 21th century professional settings. This study aims at evaluating the impact of a suggested program titled ‘‘the Leadership Enhancement Program (LEP)” on improving communication, strategic thinking, problem-solving, and team collaboration skills among first-level students at the Applied College, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU), Saudi Arabia. Implemented as a part of the Administrative Communications Course, the program was designed to foster essential leadership competencies through interactive and experiential learning methods. A total of 100 female students participated in the LEP, which incorporated workshops, role-play activities, project-based learning, collaborative exercises, and the integration of technology to enhance communication. Additionally, reflective journals and focus groups were used to assess students' progress and gather qualitative insights into their learning experiences. The program aimed to provide a structured yet dynamic environment for students to develop critical leadership attributes, particularly in decision-making and teamwork. Findings of the study indicate that students exhibited notable improvements in their leadership-related skills, particularly in their ability to communicate effectively, think strategically, solve problems efficiently, and collaborate within teams. Participants also reported increased confidence in their leadership capabilities, highlighting the effectiveness of experiential learning in leadership development. These results underscore the significance of structured leadership programs within academic curricula to better equip students for future challenges. |
