In this deep and moving episode of Not a Life Sentence, Abdulaziz Al-Roomi joins me to unpack what true leadership really means.
More than a title or a role, leadership is a mindset of service, humility, and vision. We dive into his personal story: from being born in Scotland to growing up in Kuwait, and how global exposure, strong female role models, and a deep sense of faith shaped the values he champions today.
This is a conversation for anyone seeking to lead with heart, navigate the human side of organisations, or reflect on their personal “why.”
We discussed: Leadership, how HR is the Heart Rate, the power of Empathy, Cultural Identity and emotional wellbeing, Women, Equity & Legacy, Career Growth & Fulfillment and Abdulaziz latest book: HR Hustler.
Memorable quotes:
- "It's not about you, it's about them"
- "We don't depreciate, we appreciate with time"
- "If you fail with purpose, you don't lose confidence ; you gain clarity"
- "True leadership is about fulfillment and not just results"
