“Engineering …
Vision, Leadership, Perseverance … Outstanding
Success!”
By Mr. Mohamed S.
Moghrabi (on behalf of
CEE)
Senior Director and Member of the
Executive Committee, Tameer Holding (
Dubai)
Invited to the Conference and
presented with the Distinguished Alumnus
Award
Abstract:
The objective and
content of my talk would target to link the discipline of the
Engineering ‘character formation‘with success … outstanding
success … of the individual.
To achieve this
objective, I will begin with a brief overview of my personal
experience, starting from the day of graduation, through the
various jobs I held and dozens of countries I experienced,
leading up to this point in time. Thereafter, I will present
how the three simple - and seemingly cliché - words in my
subject line “Vision, Leadership, Perseverance”
actually form the
raw ingredients to achieving unlimited levels of success. I
will finally close with advice to my colleagues who will
graduate shortly, as well as some humble observations,
comments and suggestions to my greater family … the AUB
administration, senior faculty members and
professors.
