The more you teach, the more you learn As business leaders, we have a choice, to keep our expertise to ourselves so “we look good” among our peers or to share our knowledge and experiences that inspire greatness among others. Having just returned from delivering a five-day Executive Mini MBA in Dubai for one of the leading training providers in the UAE, The Leoron Institute https://lnkd.in/dAU7UH8S, I can honestly say there is nothing more rewarding than following the second option. Having never been to Dubai before, other than a stopover or two at the international airport, my first impressions were far beyond my expectations. Working from the excellent Marriot Hotel on the Palm, my time with Saudis, Emiratis, one Argentinian and one Aussie made me lift my game as never before. As if delivering five days of content wasn’t enough, the sensory overload of the View at the Palm, Dubai Marina, the Jumeirah beach, Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall added yet another dimension to my own experiences.   You cannot help but be impressed by the wisdom across the globe that yields such creativity and productivity when people come together from all different walks of life and cultures. Dubai was a desert a mere 36 years ago. Of course, it does not come without rightful criticism and concern for the well-being of fellow human beings in the pursuit of goals and outcomes. We should never ignore the impact of our intentions as leaders when it causes real hurt or distress, especially when it can be avoided. We should always demonstrate mindfulness and care to make amends should something we do be a misjudgment. Life affirmation of seeing growth in confidence and collaboration over such a short time was demonstrable as the group with whom I was working came together as one. Two actually, as we created two teams designing a new business from scratch. Watch out for a cloud kitchen and improved Stadia operations for the World Cup in 2034. The willingness of the staff at the Marriott, the organising team from The Leoron Institute and the executives attending the Executive Mini MBA to teach and nurture a better understanding of the world they have made for themselves served not only to enhance my own life experience and make me a better leader too but to break down barriers and create a global community that can only benefit us all. And now the more I have learnt, the more I can teach.

🤘 #Leadership in Every Moment and Everywhere In today's fast-paced business world, leadership extends beyond the boardroom. It's about demonstrating balance, resilience, and authenticity in every aspect of life. Here I am, embracing a moment of calm by the lake, enjoying my coffee, and reflecting on the journey. True leadership is not confined to corporate attire or office walls. It's about being present, making thoughtful decisions, and leading by example, whether in a strategy meeting or during a quiet moment of reflection. Successful leaders understand the importance of recharging and maintaining balance. This holistic approach fuels creativity, enhances decision-making, and builds stronger, more motivated teams. How do you ensure that you take that moment to refuel and reenergise? #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #WorkLifeBalance #InnovativeLeadership #Entrepreneurship

My first #CGFGlobalSummit2024 last week in Chicago was amazing - Wellness was a major topic among the world leaders in CPG, especially focused on the future of food, the effect of GLP-1s and the explosive growth of "better for you" food, beverage, personal care and beauty.

No two complex projects are alike, that has been my experience. Complexity morphs and changes and can be technological, structural, organisational, environmental, economical, social or any combination of these and others. If you are involved in complex projects these ICCPM sessions will help broaden your thinking and sense-making.

Having worked on Transformation & Change projects over last 3 decades, I have often noticed that in the landscape of leadership, the mindset we adopt can make all the difference. There's a profound distinction between 'playing to win' and 'playing not to lose'. When we play to win, we're driven by purpose, passion, and a commitment to our vision. This mindset encourages us to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and keep pushing forward until we achieve our goals. It's about seeing setbacks as stepping stones and remaining resilient in the face of adversity. On the other hand, playing not to lose is rooted in fear and a scarcity mentality. It’s about protecting what we have and avoiding risks at all costs. This mindset can lead to hesitation, missed opportunities, and ultimately, giving up when things get tough. Instead of striving for greatness, we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. As leaders, we have a choice, we always do. We can choose to step into the arena with courage and conviction, or we can play it safe, letting fear dictate our actions. When you consider winning isn't just about achieving the end result. It's about the journey, the growth, and the impact we make along the way. It's an infinite game in the words of Simon Sinek. Play to win, every day, and inspire your teams to do the same. #Leadership #Mindset #PlayingToWin #CourageOverFear

  🔑 Motivational Drivers: Insights from Employee Satisfaction Surveys in Saudi Arabia and the Arab Region In consulting projects across Saudi Arabia and the Arab region, understanding what truly drives employee performance is key to unlocking organizational success. Satisfaction surveys reveal that employee motivation is influenced by a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, tailored to cultural and business contexts. Here are the most reported motivational drivers and their impact on performance: 1️⃣ Career Development Opportunities Employees value clear pathways for growth and development, seeking organizations that invest in their skills and potential. Statistic: Over 70% of employees in Saudi Arabia report that access to training and development is their top motivator (Deloitte). 2️⃣ Competitive Compensation and Benefits While not the sole motivator, fair and competitive pay remains a baseline driver for performance. Benefits like health insurance, housing allowances, and bonuses are particularly valued in the region. Insight: 85% of employees in the GCC prioritize benefits packages tailored to their needs over salary alone (Mercer). 3️⃣ Recognition and Appreciation Acknowledging employees’ efforts and celebrating successes has a direct impact on morale and performance. 4️⃣ Work-Life Balance and Flexibility Employees increasingly value flexible work arrangements that enable them to balance personal and professional responsibilities. Statistic: Hybrid work is a top motivator for 68% of employees in the Arab region, improving job satisfaction and reducing burnout (PwC). 5️⃣ Purpose-Driven Work Employees are motivated when their work aligns with a greater purpose or organizational mission. 6️⃣ Empowerment and Autonomy Empowering employees to make decisions and take ownership of their work fosters accountability and motivation. Insight: Teams with high autonomy report 30% higher engagement compared to those with micromanagement practices (Gallup). 7️⃣ Inclusive Leadership and Communication Employees are motivated by leaders who communicate openly, listen actively, and involve them in decision-making processes. 💡 How Organizations Can Leverage These Drivers 🌟 Conduct Regular Feedback Surveys: Use pulse surveys to stay attuned to evolving employee needs and adjust strategies accordingly. 🌟 Tailor Rewards and Recognition: Customize incentives and recognition programs to address cultural nuances and employee preferences 🌟 Invest in Development: Provide career development opportunities, including upskilling programs and leadership training. ⛈️ Impact of Focusing on Motivational Drivers ⚡ Improved Performance: Engaged and motivated employees are 21% more productive (Gallup). ⚡ Enhanced Retention: Organizations addressing motivational drivers report 37% lower turnover rates. ⚡ Stronger Employer Brand: Motivated employees become advocates, attracting top talent to the organization. #Mohamed_Helmy #InsightsReveal
