Profile / 01

American University of Ras Al Khaimah

For more than two decades I have studied how people, leadership and institutions actually work.

I am Khalid Khan, Chair of the Department of Management and Assistant Professor of Human Resource Management at the American University of Ras Al Khaimah. My work sits where leadership, psychological contracts and project outcomes meet.

I teach strategy, organisational psychology and research methods, supervise doctoral work, and consult on leadership and organisational effectiveness with organisations including the WHO and the World Bank.

01
