Ep08: Artificial Intelligence and its impact on UAE...

Business is Personal ·

2019/02/10

Talking about AI is particularly challenging because even though the technology is developing exponentially, most business leaders don’t have any idea how to react to the advent of AI. Business leaders need to accept that AI is currently transforming a dozen major industries, and without help, traditionally stable businesses will be swept away as their core competencies are outsourced to a technology that learns with every transaction, never forgets, and never sleeps. This is not blockchain, or

Ep07: Training and Education in a Modern Society

2019/01/24

This was an energising conversation. Once again, interviews need to be longer to determine the real capacities of candidates. Secondly, modular and decentralised education is the norm now, and these tools can be used for internal upgrading as well as prescribed for L&D KPIs in organizations. If you do not have an L&D KPI in your key roles, then your managers are currently being outdated by the market. You’ll end up wondering why leaders that were successful in the past are beginning to fail. Get

Ep06: Are family businesses prepared for disruption?

Business is Personal ·

2019/01/10

This was an “elephant in the room” conversation about issues facing family businesses in the UAE. Two things stood out from this discussion: First, legal ownership is not a leadership skill or a management qualification, so promoting people based on tenure and honour (blood relationship) is a dangerous game played with hundreds if not thousands of livelihoods at stake. Second, we are in a post-trader globalizing economy. Family businesses that don’t shift to a professional meritocracy and silo

Ep05: Mitigating the Dubai Gap

Business is Personal ·

2018/12/20

On Episode 5 of Business is Personal, we discuss how to mitigate the 'Dubai gap' - the gap between the title on someone's business card and the actual skills and capabilities of the individual. Are HR departments equipped to deal with the skills gap? When recruiting for senior positions, how should we carry out interviews? CEOs who want good team members must empower their recruiting teams to bring in external examiners to ascertain competencies, and fund internal social interviews in order to

Ep04: How to Attract, Hire & Retain the Right Talent?

Business is Personal ·

2018/12/03

Gone are the days of seeking CVs, or handing out CVs. There’s just too many out there, and they are unreliable, and often uninformative. We hire based on relationships now, so companies need to hunt down and court the leaders that they want to add to their teams. Likewise, key leaders looking for their next step need to pursue and woo the companies that represent values aligned with their own. In Episode 4 of Business is Personal, we are joined by Andrew Kabrit, Co-Founder & COO of Seez, Muhammad

Ep03: What Makes a CEO 'Exceptional?'

Business is Personal ·

2018/11/19

Two of my Executive Leadership clients won CEO awards this year. It’s a privilege to work with truly exceptional CEOs. It was so much fun to sit with quality leaders and discuss exceptional leadership. CEOs in the GCC need to be fast and flexible. One of the keys to success that we discuss in this podcast is the need for CEOs to remain focused on their strengths, and surround themselves with people whose strengths complement the CEO’s weaknesses. There is no wise sage anymore who can cope with the

Ep02: The Impact of Social Media on Traditional Business

Business is Personal ·

2018/11/05

The digital capture of reviews and reactions, searches and likes, has opened us up to a new world where commentary is a commodity, to be generated, harvested, bundled, marketed, and sold to the highest bidder. We ourselves are no longer just the market, but also the product. Each consumer, knowingly or not, is now an influencer, and in some small way contributing to groupthink and peer pressure on an unprecedented scale and with remarkable precision. Social media is now a catchphrase for a

Ep01: Is Business Personal

Business is Personal ·

2018/10/17

There is an inherent and often unarticulated way in which we choose our colleagues, employees, clients, suppliers, and collaborators based on shared values. It isn’t enough anymore to determine whether or not someone has the competencies required to partner with us, and it is no longer sufficient for us to check the boxes of experience and knowledge and arrive at a partnership. We need to know, WHO is it that we are sharing our lives with? WHO are we inviting onto our team? Because after all,
