Episode Description
The conversations leaders often don't have are around purpose. What is the difference you are trying to make in the world? I find that really great leaders have a deep and inspiring purpose that guides them in what they do every day and how they lead their organizations. It’s usually very personal and compelling. It’s what brings them joy in their work. Suhail Bin Tarraf is CEO of Tanfeeth the first large scale business partnership in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The tag line for the organization is "Getting it done and making it better." Suhail will discuss leadership from the top in the GCC and what is important to him and his organization.
