Pursuant to transparency I must admit I am writing this from my heart. I have known Heba for several years and I have learned a great deal about the art of Leadership from her. Her Arabic name , meaning gift or blessing, is spot on as her book is a blessing and a gift for anyone hoping to achieve a high level of efficiency. I am amazed that Heba has been able to verbalize her approach so simplistically the reader can quickly see how to capitalize on her common sense based elements. I was fortunate enough to get an early copy so I have actually read it myself three time already and each time I discover more benefits from following her proven approach. This book is written for easy understanding and beneficial, practical, implementation. Heba is a "born leader" and it becomes blatantly obvious as she unselfishly shares her leadership elements.

Be as Cool as A Breeze...
Elements of Leadership by Heba Al Shehhi is a radical move in a field that often rewards control over curiosity. As a PMO Leader, this was THAT Leadership conversation i've been longing for without knowing it.
Heba Al Shehhi doesn’t do Boring! 😁 ; she doesn't peddle the usual governance frameworks or rinse and repeat checklists. Instead, she invites us into something deeper: a rewilding of leadership.
This book introduces traits that are often considered too “soft” or “unmeasurable” in the corporate world: empathy, presence, fluidity, courage, emotional intelligence.... ***Not replacing strategy and structure but balancing them with soul.
If you're brave enough to face that question, this book will transform the way you lead forever.
Thank you Heba!

I usually read books with a blue pen in hand—highlighting key takeaways, reflections, marking the moments that speak to me. But "Elements of Leadership" was different. This time, I found myself writing throughout the entire book. Every page offered something worth remembering, something worth living by. Heba’s words didn’t just inform me—they moved me. This book isn’t just read—it’s felt, lived, and carried forward.
I quote here, " It's ok to be vulnerable with your leaders and employees. You would be surprised at how receptive they might be. They will relate. We are all humans, after all. "
