???????? ?????????? ?? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ???? ?? ???????? According to Meredith Belbin “A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role that is understood by other members”. Over the last three years, I've been working with #projectteams from an industry leader in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and marine dredging ecosystems, where I have seen this demonstrated first hand. During this period, the entity has undergone a merger with a petroleum construction engineering company. A perfect marriage of talent, experience and material resources to create the region’s leading integrated oil & gas and marine service EPC player, with a footprint across MENA and South Asia.? However, getting highly skilled and experienced individuals on both sides aligned to perform like a team and work towards the strategic objectives of the newly formed entity can be a challenge. If the transition is not managed well, this can even take years, while productivity (and profitability) suffers. #Leadership plays a key role in getting individuals to work “like a well-oiled machine” ???????????????? ?????????? – the most important and probably the toughest to do. Open and honest communication, addressing inappropriate behaviours and always being accountable for #teamperformance, are good places to start. Members need to know you have their back, no matter what. Creating an emotionally safe space (with no fear of ridicule), is key to gaining trust. ?????????????? ?????????????? – there can be no influence where there is no respect. A title does not ensure respect; is must be earned. A leader must be a role model, live their values and "walk the talk". ???????????????? ?????????? – transparency and clarity when assigning job responsibility (or SMART objectives) helps team members focus on what they need to deliver. If done well, it leaves little room for “politics” – in fact it encourages healthy competition. People bring their best game to work. ???????????????? ???????? – requires a high level of #emotionalintelligence, #effectivecommunication, #socialskills and #culturalcompetence. Maturity has little to do with age! Keeping everyone focused on the big picture, and not personal agendas, is a skill a leader must have. ?????????????? – accepting that once the team is performing, different members may take on the role of the “leader”, depending on the task at hand. Leadership may need to step into a coaching or mentoring role. This ability to adapt fast to a changing environment is key to high performance teams. The key message on the ground has to be: ???? ?????? ???? ????????, ????????????, ???????????????? ?? ?? And if managed well, newly formed teams can outperform older, established ones! “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things” -Mother Teresa #teamwork #teamperformance

Understanding Cultures for Oil and Gas Success Cultural sensitivity is no longer a nice-to-have; it's a must-have for professionals operating in the global oil and gas industry. This critical skill set involves understanding, respecting, and effectively navigating the complexities of different cultures. Every culture has its unique communication styles, decision-making processes, and business etiquette. From recognizing the value of indirect communication in some cultures to appreciating the importance of consensus-building in others, cultural awareness is key to building trust and avoiding misunderstandings. Demonstrating respect for local customs and traditions is paramount. Whether it's adhering to appropriate dress codes, understanding the nuances of gift-giving, or respecting local values, these actions build strong relationships and foster a positive business environment. Cross-cultural negotiations require a deep understanding of different negotiation styles and conflict resolution approaches. Building trust and strong relationships is often the foundation for successful business deals, especially in cultures that prioritize personal connections. The oil and gas industry is increasingly globalized, with multinational teams becoming the norm. To effectively lead and manage diverse workforces, cultural sensitivity is essential. By understanding different work styles, communication preferences, and motivational factors, leaders can create inclusive and high-performing teams. Oil and gas projects often impact local communities. Demonstrating cultural sensitivity through community engagement and corporate social responsibility initiatives is crucial for building trust, obtaining social license to operate, and contributing positively to local development. In conclusion, cultural sensitivity is a strategic asset for professionals in the oil and gas industry. By understanding and respecting cultural differences, we can build stronger relationships, achieve better business outcomes, and contribute to a more sustainable future. #culturalsensitivity #oilandgas #leadership #strategy #strategicmanagement

I have been invited by one of the top leaders in Middleast and CEO of one of the biggest company in oil and gas (#yasser_zaghlol), His objecteve was to share and brainstorm how to improve the project performance, bussiness performance and most important how to take care of your team which is your biggest asset as a project manager. Loved his vision,humbleness, listening, and admiring.... What I Liked the most?????? When he said:- ""You are not a project manager You are business man incharge of the project management??????"" Indeed, as a project manager you are looking after a profite center of your company, You are not just completing the tasks, you have to complete with profite to your organization and high value for your client otherwise you are just an employee. That's why the next step after project Management is Bussiness Management. #almostafa_abdelfatah #?????_????????_???????? #business #projectmanagement #businesssuccess
