SPONSOR CON-X 2023: Interview Rami Asaad, Managing Director Darina Holidays
We live in a period of great uncertainty, in which the main challenge for managers is decision-making. In Con-X we will talk about it, and for this reason we interviewed our CON-X sponsors in order for them to explain to us what are their challenges, their next decisions and experiences in the sector.
- We live in a period of high uncertainty, in which the main challenge for managers is decision-making. At Con-X we will talk about this, but could you tell us about your own case? How do you deal with decision-making in your company?
- In the past 2–3 years was a perfect training on how to do that, however I strongly believe at every challenge there is an opportunity which we have to discover and lessons we have to learn, as a leader … Decisions has to be made and on time in order to motivate a team and drive them into a success which was result at Darina Holidays into the best year records in 2021 in the entire company history, a growth 76.1% in 2022 & 35% growth forecast for 2023, but we ended Jan with 47%!
