JUMANA AS A LEADER

Jumana believes true success is about creating positive impacts and ensuring personal alignment with one's values and goals. She measures her achievements by her ability to make meaningful changes in others' lives and contribute to societal progress, emphasizing that true leadership involves compassion, empathy, and a commitment to collective growth.

Leadership is not about knowing the answers to everything.

Great Leaders listen, ask, inspire and spot opportunities.

The future of leadership is female.

When I think of a leader, I think of Queen Rania.
