Mohamed on Leadership:

“Although we spend much time with our coworkers, we usually see a tiny part of their personal life and characters, especially in today’s mostly online interaction.

Effective leaders always look for the other side of the story before giving their team members feedback. I realized I still have a lot to learn at that front. It is humbling to realize how complex people’s interactions and dynamics.”
