Leading by Listening: The Blessing of Connecting with My Team

As a CEO, one of my most rewarding experiences is sitting down for lunch with our employees. These moments allow me to step away from the big picture and truly connect with the people who make it all happen.

Through these conversations, I’ve had the privilege of hearing their life stories, learning about their aspirations and dreams, and understanding the challenges they face—both personally and professionally. I listen to what excites them, what worries them, and what fuels their passion.

These insights inspire me to reflect not only on the journey of our company but also on my own personal growth.

I’m incredibly proud of the young, motivated men and women who drive Al Masaood Automobiles forward.

To any leader reading this: Take the time to listen. The best lessons often come from unexpected places—like a lunch table.
