Personality

 (An interview with me published in Commercial Magazine, in April. 2010.)

v Career background:

I began my career in the public sector, as a fresh of graduate of Business Administration from the USA. In 1989, I joined Diwan of Royal Court where I was destined to climb the ladder by virtue of my hard work and discipline. I had the privilege to hold several managerial positions such as Director of Administration & finance in several Directorate General within the organization, the last of which was the Director of planning &Studies. During my  tenure  there I had the opportunity to get an insight into the nature of the public sector and mechanism of   coordination between the various public administration and underwent training in areas such as human resources strategic management communication and other soft skills as well as enhancing my it skills.

In 2007,  I felt that I needed to test my abilities and skills in a different sphere particularly that I had two master degrees by then. My entry into the private sector was marked by taking up the assignment as a group HR manager in al hasher group in April 2007. Thereafter I joined The Wave Muscat in October 2008 as the company HR manager.

v Strength and weakness

The ability to communicate and adapt are of a paramount  importance besides sound technical knowledge in one profession inculcating the trust which in turn yield favorable results. Everyone should make it appoint to adopt a strategy for continuous improvement.

v Leadership style

I believe in leading by example. I always make it a team effort and all would thrive and excel if we harness the real power of team work  a win / win is the ultimate concern always but there are moments where decisiveness is the secret to success. I make it my undeterred responsibility to groom, empower and motivate my subordinates and play a vital role in assisting them to  see their aspirations come true.

v Key to success

Clarity of purpose, consistency, prioritizing  and ability to deal  with people  effectively

v How you handle difficult moments?

Handling such moments certainly requires the ability to focus your attention on the root cause and approach it with patience. Being receptive  to new ideas can be a highly  practical means to find solutions.

v What you achieved from the present position?

 I am   actually a we   man .The achievement of The Wave Muscat as a  project  speaks  louder than words . As the days pass by, The Wave Muscat   proves that it is the new heart of Muscat. From all Individual perspective, I  have  gained great  confidence in working with  a multi – cultural  organization and learned that  productivity is a matter of a personal  effectiveness   .

v Turning point in life :

Turning points are many but  to touch  upon  an example , leaving behind  secure job in the public  sector in a prestigious organization with  less working  hours meant  a real challenge to me. Such a step  required  a paradigm shift and  effectively  managing one’s own self the decision  is worth  taken  and it is an enriching experience.

v The boundary line between official and personal life :

I do not   believe in mixing business with pleasure. I devote my efforts to shoulder the tasks I am   entrusted to perform in a disciplined and pro fissional manner.  Prioritizing and challenging the vice of procrastination is the name of the game. Once I call it off  for  the day , it is  time to leave the  office  behind  to attend  to my  personal and family  concerns .

 

v  About life in Oman

Life in Oman is marvelous  and beyond description  .it is my beloved country  and  I have  an everlasting  affinity  with each nook  and corner  of it .it is a land  of peace, hospitality and pried.

v How you spend leisure time?

Actually working in the private sector has reduced the available leisure time   but I like  to spend  quality time with my family , read and write and stay in touch with my friends.
