MiPD hosts annual principals’ conference

Islamabad:The Millennium Institute of Professional Development (MiPD) hosted a two-day Annual Principal’s Conference with the theme ‘Leadership 2.0: Power of You!’ at the Islamabad Club here.

The event brought together leaders, administrators, educators, and professionals from The Millennium Education (TME) Group and beyond, fostering an enriching environment for collaboration, sharing, and learning. This year’s theme, ‘Leadership 2.0: Power of You!’ was crafted to enhance the self-management skills of school leaders, empowering them to cultivate vibrant communities within schools and colleges. MiPD played a crucial role in designing a dynamic programme that emphasised innovative leadership and forward-thinking strategies.

Erum Atif, director of Teaching & Learning at The Millennium Education Group, highlighted key features of the TME framework, along with its policies and procedures. She underscored the importance of ‘the power of you’ as a leader, encouraging participants to take ownership of their roles in shaping the future of education through mentorship and coaching.

“Passionate leaders foster a culture of enthusiasm and engagement, inspiring others to bring their best selves to the table. This passion ultimately translates into measurable performance, driving productivity, innovation, and resilience within teams.”

Dr. Faisal Mushtaq TI, Founder & CEO of The Millennium Education Group, delivered an impactful keynote on ‘Leadership 360.’ He emphasised the principal’s role as the CEO of their schools and colleges, advocating for a holistic leadership approach that encompasses diverse perspectives and dimensions of influence.

Dr. Faisal highlighted that a 360-degree leader builds strong relationships at all levels—among peers, superiors, and subordinates—cultivating a culture of collaboration, mutual respect, and continuous feedback. “This method fosters trust and openness, encouraging transparency and shared responsibility, ultimately empowering others and driving organisational success,” he said, promising to continue inspiring globally-minded, future-ready leaders within The Millennium Education Group.

Former President of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and former Ambassador of Pakistan to the United States Ambassador Masood Khan, who was the chief guest and keynote speaker on the occasion, provided invaluable insights into leadership, applicable in both educational and international contexts.

He praised TME’s 36-year legacy in shaping generations by equipping them with essential knowledge, skills, and values to navigate an ever-evolving world. “This institution’s commitment to academic excellence, inclusive education, and character development creates a profound ripple effect, influencing industries and societal norms.” He said TME’s adaptability and dedication to progress ensured that it meets the needs of future learners while honouring its foundational tra­ditions, empowering in­d­i­­vi­d­uals and communities for generations to come.
