Health 2. A quiet mind (or as I call it, being at peace) 3. Freedom of time 4. The ability to think and create 5. Emotional balance What’s your list of life’s greatest luxuries? ????

Too many MBAs are running companies. Elon Musk pointed it out, and he’s right. We’ve shifted focus from building products that add value to creating layers of bureaucracy, metrics, and reports. But what does "added value" really mean? It’s not just about profit margins or shareholder returns. It’s about: - Creating something that matters. - Solving a problem. - Improving lives. - Elevating experiences. ???? Ask yourself: Is your company enhancing the world, or just existing to perpetuate itself? True innovation comes from purpose. From vision. Not from another spreadsheet. What does "added value" mean to you? ???? — ?? Repost to to keep the conversation going. ?????? Follow me (Abir) for more.

Your IQ is just a number. Real intelligence? It's a whole different game. Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences reveals that intelligence is multifaceted, suggesting many individuals possess hidden abilities in areas often overlooked by traditional measures. Let's break it down: Linguistic prowess: ? You have a way with words, easily expressing complex ideas and grasping nuances in language. Mathematical mind: ? You excel at problem-solving, logical reasoning, and can quickly identify patterns in various situations. Spatial awareness: ? You can visualise objects from different angles and excel at tasks requiring spatial reasoning. Bodily-kinesthetic talent: ? You possess exceptional physical coordination and can quickly master new physical skills or sports. (You're mastering new skills before others tie their shoes.) Musical aptitude: ? You have a keen ear for rhythm, pitch, and can easily pick up musical instruments. Interpersonal skills: ? You're adept at understanding others' emotions, motivations, and can navigate social situations with ease. Intrapersonal insight: ? You have a deep understanding of your own emotions, motivations, and can effectively self-reflect. (You know yourself better than your own mother.) Naturalistic intuition: ? You have a strong connection with nature, easily recognizing patterns in the environment even Mother Earth herself would miss. Existential thinking: ? You’re tackling life's big questions and have a knack for philosophical and abstract thinking. Why does this matter? It's a game-changer. It means you've got hidden superpowers. It challenges the old school. And it could revolutionise how we learn and work. You're a genius and I think it might be time for you to recognise it. Tell me, which one resonates with you????? — ??

The real truth about hiring: You don't need 5 interviews to find the right person. Here's what I mean: Last week, I was chatting with a friend who runs a tech startup. He was bragging about their "thorough" 5-round interview process. But get this: They still ended up with a dud hire. 5 interviews. Wasted time. Poor result. Here's the thing: More interviews ≠ better hires In fact, it might be hurting your chances. Why? 1. Decision fatigue - By round 5, you're exhausted - You start missing red flags - Or worse, ignoring your gut feeling 2. Top talent gets snatched up - While you're scheduling round 4 - Your competitor made an offer - Bye-bye dream candidate 3. It's all talk, no action - Interviews only show how well someone interviews - Not how they actually perform - You need to see them in action So, what's the solution? Simple: 1. One solid interview - Get to know them - Assess cultural fit - Discuss experience 2. Give them a real task - Something they'd do in the role - Paid, of course - See how they actually work 3. Make a decision - Trust your gut - Move fast - Don't overthink it This approach: - Saves time - Shows real skills - Attracts top talent Remember: Hiring is about finding the right fit, not the perfect person. Stop with the 5-round circus. Start making smarter, faster hiring decisions. Your team (and sanity) will thank you. ↓ ?? Repost if you agree. ?????? Follow me Abir Haddoud for more.

This urgency culture is burning us out. Over 80% of workers experience stress from the constant pressure to respond immediately. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is rest. There are different types of rest (Physical, Spiritual, Psychological) Here are 9 ideas to try today: 1?? Time away. 2?? Permission to not be helpful. 3?? Something "unproductive". 4?? Connection to art and nature. 5?? Solitude to recharge. 6?? A break from responsibility. 7?? Stillness to decompress. 8?? Safe space. 9?? Alone time at home. My most needed is number 5. Which one has the biggest impact on you? Let me know in the comments. ——— ?? Share this to help your network. ?????? Follow me Abir Haddoud for more content like this.

Maya Angelou once said: “Modesty is dangerous.” Here's why: ??Modesty often involves downplaying our abilities and achievements. It can lead to diminished self-worth and missed opportunities. ??Humility, on the other hand, is about recognising our strengths and weaknesses without arrogance. It’s grounded in confidence and self-awareness (It comes from within). While modesty can hinder our potential, humility empowers us to grow and inspire others. This is an invitation to embrace humility and shine your light without fear. Do you agree? ????
