We sit down with Mohammed Ahamed, CEO and Chief Diversity Officer at EDI Executive Search to discuss leadership today and how it has changed over time. Sometimes we must wear the cap if it fits in leadership in order to learn or unlearn to make positive progress in our learning journey.  Mo starts and ends each day in reflection focusing on gratitude to see the sun rise and set that day, knowing he has been given the opportunity to make a difference by being ALIVE! It is that intentionality, to make the most out of today, that energizes Mo in the work he does.  We could all be a little more grateful and thankful today to realize what we do have and not focus all our energy on what we do not.  "Don't count the days make the days count" - Muhammed Ali

S2:E22 Timeout with Mohammed Ahamed ”Learning and Unlearning in Leadership”

Ukas gjest har Wikipediaside på 5 forskjellige språk, som er meget imponerende for en spiller som aldri har vært eid av en klubb syd for polarsirkelen! Imponerende er det også at han har gått fra rett å jobbe i NAV til å spille for Tromsø i OBOS-ligaen, samt at han garantert er vår første gjest som har vært ute med skadet øyelokk! I denne episoden skal du få bli bedre kjent med administrerende direktør i Mo Airlines, og Tromsdalen-legende Mohammed Ahamed Jama. Mo gir oss bl.a et hjertevarmt innblikk i hvor viktig fotballen var for integreringen av hans somaliske familie da de kom til Tromsø på 80-tallet, hvor tøft det var å gjøre comeback som elitespiller etter å ha trappet ned og hvor deilig det er å leve på øl, pølse og potetgull-dietten. Vi får også servert en fascinerende superkraft og et mildt sagt festlig drømmelag.Send oss gjerne en e-post med ris, ros eller tips: heiafotball@nrk.no. Vi er også på Twitter @p3heiafotball.
