RIMA AS A LEADER
For Rima Manna, success intertwines with ethics, integrity, and enjoying the journey. She emphasizes maintaining one's principles while achieving set goals and always seeing the glass half full.
Leadership is not about titles.
Great Leaders help others succeed & build trust.
The future of leadership is leadership with purpose.
When I think of a leader, I think of many, not sure I can only name one.
THERE IS NO HARMONY BETWEEN WORK AND LIFE; ACCEPT THE IMBALANCE AND MAKE PEACE WITH IT.
