In line with its commitment to engage
with and motivate its employees further in the new year ahead, The Kanoo
Group—one of the largest family-owned business conglomerates in the region—on
January 16 has organized an interactive discussion between Chairman Mishal
Kanoo and the sales employees from all of its divisions.
Held at Crowne Plaza Dubai, ‘Tea With
the Chairman’ saw the corporate dialogue become active yet again within members
of The Kanoo Group, as Mr. Mishal gave an inspiring talk that focused on the
importance of leaving a mark from the job, as well as austerity in dominating
the market and respective industry.
“We have a lot of deer, some are small, others are medium-sized, some of them are huge ones. If you want them, go get them. Go become the cheetah, the lion, or the panther. Or, you might become a vulture—eating whatever’s left,” he said.
The chairman added that people does not
have to do things that are of grand scale, they just have to do something that
they think is important and will leave a mark, long after they’re gone.
“Choose what you want to be, how you
want to be remembered, or how you want to remember yourself. Because at the end
of the day, it has nothing to do with what the company does, it has everything
to do with you. If you want something, go get it,” he added.
The Kanoo Group’s Country Manager Hesham
Nass, noted how all the members of the Group must be keen to add further value
to the business through partnerships and joint ventures.
“Every single one of you has something
to add to your customer. So you’re not sales per se, you are consultants,
helping your customer to retain them. What we’re looking at today is that the
market has saturated and is increasing in size. How do we add value? By
collaborating. Collaborating between teams and collaborating across other
brands of your industry,” he said.
