Let's Talk Global Business

In this podcast John Metselaar hosts Alexander van ‘t Riet, until last month the CEO of Mai Dubai Water who took the brand from 5% to 20% market share and into a regional icon now served at Emirates Airlines over his tenure. Alexander shared his key priorities behind this amazing journey along the 5E framework of what leaders do – envisioning, enabling to execute, and engaging and empowering – and who leaders are, or should be – along mind, heart, and gut. “Walk the talk” and “what you give attention gets done and grows” were just a couple of the many nuggets of wisdom pulled from the experience of “how a Dutchman from the canals succeeds in the exotic Gulf”.
