Leadership and Influence Question

My ability to interact with and influence my surroundings to persuade them to participate in the work in order to achieve their goals and contribute to the development of society is the indicator and realistic evidence that I am a true and successful leader.

As a practitioner of Taekwondo since the age of six years and as a national team player holds a black belt, and after I became an important name in sport, For a period of time since 2012, I have supervised training a group of young people and pushing them to advance and believe in themselves to be important players in the future. There were some players who sometimes missed training and felt hopeless and bored at other times, and in order to urge them to give their best, I used my story: How I started from a young age and put an effort into training and that sometimes I was training alone until I became what I am now, To avoid getting bored and distracting from their goal, I was organizing some fun activities to keep them entertained and reward them for every development they make. Hence, thanks to my supervision of them, I consider myself succeeded in making them prominent elements representing the club and the national team in national and international forums. Some of them have now become coaches in this sport, who supervise many individuals and pass on their experiences and what they have learned.

As a civil engineer in the health sector since 2016, I have participated with a team of engineers in leaving our mark by providing integrated engineering studies and supervising the maintenance and construction of health facilities. Also, in 2020, with the beginning of the Covid 19 epidemic, I was in a meeting and suggested to the administration to equip a quarantine center near the hospital, especially since the only center in the city is located in the countryside. This idea was well received by the administration, and based on this, I was assigned to submit a study for the maintenance of one of the centers affiliated with the Ministry of Education. so and after agreement with them, I was assigned to head the supervision of all works, and from here I started working with some engineers from another institution and with us a group of workers. Indeed, we started maintenance work and were able, during a week of intense work around the clock, to deliver the center to be ready for use. This work contributed to preparing a place to be a quarantine center located in the heart of the city and relieves pressure on the hospital and has a beautiful location on the sea that helps those who come to it to spend the quarantine period without feeling bored or upset.

These practical experiences of me as a leader greatly affected my personality as it gave me the confidence to be an influential factor capable of helping others and the community to the utmost of my potential.
